Emeka Irem retweetledi
The Sarki Gobir was invited for a meeting by the sultanate, and in the meeting a request was placed on him to order his subjects to reversed the idea of rejecting the consumption of Fulani cow milk (Nono) and other spices produced by Fulani women. He in the meeting outrightly told the sultanate it was not his idea that his people should not consume the Fulani cow milk, rather it was the collective Idea of the people and it will be a difficult task for him to go against their will.
It's alleged that the Fulani women used to collect their urine and mixed it with the cow milk and sell to the Hausas for consumption on discovering this, the Hausas got irritated and vow never to have anything to do with the Fulani milk again. This was the crux of the matter and their king was invited by the sultan for a meeting.
When at last the meeting did not yield any result, the king was waylaid on his way home kidnapped, and several of millions demanded even when the demand was met, they still went ahead and killed him brutally plucking his two eyes. It was not actually a kidnapping, they used the kidnapping as a cover up. It was a deliberate and calculated assassination of the Sarki Gobir. The Sarki Gobir is a Hausa man, and very important figure amongst the Hausas. His throne survives the jihadists onslaught.
Till date, neither the Sultan, the Sokoto government, nor other influential traditional rulers have publicly paid condolences.
