Goni Bukar Lawan, Yobe State Commissioner for Youths, Sports, Social, and Community Development has passed away.
He died in a car accident along Damaturu - Kano Highway.
The death was announced on Tuesday by Yusuf Ali, the senior special assistant on digital & strategic communications to Gov. Mai Mala Buni.
According to Mr. Ali, the deceased, was on his way to Kano to attend an official engagement.
'The death of Hon. Goni Bukar Lawan has really striked (sic) us very deeply. He was hale and hearty hours before his death at the funeral of Hassan Gambo is very painful. Death is picking us randomly. Oh death! You will never know it is near until it strikes,’ Mr. Ali said
Mr. Ali explained that apart from the deceased, two government officials were also involved in the accident; however, they are not dead but injured.
They are reported as responding to treatment.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
