“Sunday night was darker to many of us flying Funtua Abuja route. Mal Dahiru Driver was murdered by a vicious beasts of bandits in his village, Yarranda, Funtua, Katsina State. His Golf saloon served many of us better than our cars while conveying passengers and their luggage or handy messages sent between the two ends of the destination daily,” Muhd Sani Abdullahi wrote.
“He had been very helpful to most families that have anything to do with Abuja from Katsina or vice versa. Dahiru was kind, patient, honest, dedicated and man of his words. You would never regret knowing him. We spoke last Thursday when Sanusi Alhassan put him in (the phone) as they were about to journey back home. May his soul rest in peace and to his assailants, we never wish them well, unless they repent. Rest in peace good man. Allah ya albarkaci zuri’ar da ka bari.”
