The electioneering atmosphere is not without ritualistic scare every time it is election period, the most vulnerable group in Adamawa state, as the finding can reveal, is the Almajiri group lacking parental care, proper tutor guidance and protection and general security, feeding on the crumbs.
They are abandoned by the parents, oppressed and exploited by the hard-hearted cheating-teacher whom they are heinously under custody, playing the guardian and intimidated by the society outside the Tsangaya, as the almajiri school system is being referred to.
The teenage Almajiri was screaming, inviting for help and rescue at night. There was however no response from the community, thinking that it was the usual bullying by the senior, however heinous the cruelty, the Almajiri would have to be subjected to in the course of learning just how to recite Qur’an bereft of morality training.
The teenage Almajiri was actually crying his life out, screaming to attract the for community for help, praying to be rescued from being prey to the predator ritualists, as it would appear to be.
The Almajiri voice eventually fainted, apparently with the soul taken away from the form occasioned by the indescribably unbearable pains the suspected ritualist(s), rather than the seniority bullying, subjected him to.
Almajir’s abandoned lifeless body with missing parts was discovered in the morning. It was just the time the community found it deemed fit to respond to the posthumous call for help, by alerting the relevant security agency just to have the deceased evacuated.
While hunting for news, the News Hunter bloc would describe the incident as “HORROR: LIFELESS BODY OF TEEN FOUND IN JIMETA WITH SOME ORGANS REMOVED”
The hunted news report reads thus:
A lifeless body of a teen was found in Rumde ward behind Yola North Local government Secretariat in Jimeta, Adamawa State, with his throat, tongue and eye removed by a yet to be identified suspected ritualist(s).
The victim was identified as a pupil of one of the Tsangaya Islamiyya Schools situated in the locality.
Some of the residents who volunteered to speak under anonymity said they heard the crying of the boy but did not bother, assuming it was usual molestation by a senior.
Reacting, the Police Public Relations Officer, Adamawa state command, Superintendent of Police, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje said the investigation has commenced in earnest, to track down the culprits.
Nguroje urged the citizenry to be security conscious, and the parents and guardians to always take full responsibility of their children’s upbringing.
He sai that the Almajiri corpse was taken to hospital for autopsy. (The News Hunter)
Who was the Almajiri? Which Tsangaya and who was the teacher? Who were the Almajiri patents and where are they?
The above questions count for complacency to the tragedy associated with the Almajiri, they should be invited for questioning rather than being sympathised in mourning.
