According to Almustapha Boza, the lawmaker representing Sabon Birni North in the State House of Assembly, a team dispatched to deliver the ransom demanded by the bandits found Bawa’s lifeless body. Boza confirmed that the team returned with Bawa’s son, who was also abducted, but the district head had already been buried by the time they arrived.

“Yes, I can confirm that he has been killed. The ransom delivery team found him dead,” Boza reported. “The ransom amount was agreed upon at N60 million along with new motorcycles, but the delivery was delayed due to issues with the specifications of the motorcycles, known as Boko Haram models.”

Efforts to contact Ahmed Rufai, the Public Relations Officer of the Sokoto State Police Command, for additional comments were unsuccessful.

Before his death, the 74-year-old monarch had appealed for help in a 59-second video circulating on social media, urging the Sokoto State Government and others to secure his release. Bawa was kidnapped alongside his son, brother, and six others on the Sokoto-Sabon Birni Road.
