Governor Nasir Idris
By IBRAHIM BELLO
Malam Usman Maigadi, a guard at Orchard Farm owned by the Emir of Yauri, Dr Muhammad Zayyanu-Abdullahi, has been killed by a mother hippopotamus, the News Agency of Nigeria, reports.
NAN gathers that the animal may have perceived the deceased as coming to harm its baby, hence the attack in self- defence.
Maiyaki, who was 60 years of age, was attacked on Sunday by the animal while fishing in Yauri River at Tillo Village in Yauri Local Government of the state.
?Maigadi has been buried, according Islamic rites in Yauri, after a funeral prayer,? according to the Chairman of the Local Government, Alhaji Abubakar Shu?aibu.
Also, Gov. Nasir Idris, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Ahmed Idris, condoled with Yauri Emirate and the family of the deceased.
Idris urged the emirate and members of the deceased family to take heart and accept the will of the Almighty in good faith.
The governor prayed to Allah to forgive the deceased?sshortcomings and grant him Jannatul Firdaus. (NAN)
