Background

A social activist, Ibrahim Muhammed, alias Macho Kaaka, died on Monday, June 28, 2021, after he was attacked by a mob when he was returning home on his motorbike on Sunday at Ejura.

He’s alleged to have been killed because of his social media advocacy, which some felt was making the government unpopular.

Kaaka was noted to be vocal on both local and national issues using his Facebook page.

His family said he had faced threats over his activism before the attack.

His death led to protests by the youth in the community who hit the street to demand justice but were met by armed police and military personnel, leading to the death of two persons and at least four people injured.

Meanwhile, Sadia Abubakar, a sister of one of the young men who died from gunshots during the protest by angry youths in Ejura has demanded justice following the death of her brother.
