This is really
#Unbelievable
One year after
contributing 2 million votes to the total votes won by the APC at the last general elections (85% of which
was contributed by the Almajiris), and despite also having an APC Government in
place, Kano residents have gone hungry and are doing weird and unbelievable
things
DRAMA recently ensued in
Kano State when the father of a five year old boy abandoned his son at Singer
Market in Fagge Local Government Area having exchanged him for a bag of rice he
could not pay for.
In the first such incident
of its kind, a middle-aged man, identified as Mallam Yusuf Bala, left his son
with a trader in the marker in exchange for a bag of rice.
According to an eyewitness
account, Bala approached the rice dealer, Alhaji Suleiman Bagudu, to buy a bag
of rice, which he carried home but left his son behind, with a promise to rush
home to bring the money for the foodstuff.
This, he said, was because
the money Bala had on him was not enough to pay for the bag of rice, which sold
for N14,000 per 50kg bag.
However, six hours
afterwards, Bala failed to show up as promised to settle the rice dealer and collect
his son, making the trader, Alhaji Bagudu, suspicious.
Consequently, Alhaji
Bagudu decided to interrogate the toddler, who then innocently led the rice
dealer to their home, located at the abattoir area of Koki in Dala Local
Government Area of the state.
Despite expressing
embarrassment when the rice dealer arrived his home, alongside his child, Bala
openly confessed that he was financially handicapped, hence his unbecoming
conduct by abandoning his son as a last resort.
Shortly after listening to
Bala’s explanation, the rice dealer donated the bag of rice to him and handed
over the boy to his father. Kano State Police Command spokesman Musa Majia,
said the incident had not been reported to him.
