The youths of Zing Local Government Area of Taraba State have called for the intervention of the kpanti Zing Alhaji Suleiman Ibrahim Sambo to make Abubakar Musa Doko, his guard face the consequences of his actions following the ugly incident of beating the chief Imam Zing central mosque Abdulhameed Isa that lead to him Hospitalized

According to eyewitness the kpanti Zing Alhaji Suleiman Ibrahim Sambo summoned the chief Imam on an issue unknown to the eyewitness.

The eyewitness further said the Chief imam in a reply of the summons assured the Emire guards that he would answer immediately after presiding over a wedding. Unfortunately, upon his arrival at the palace of the Kpanti, the chief Imam of Zing Central Mosque was violently attacked by the kpanti Zing protocol who beat him to a state of stupor that got him hospitalized.

On further investigation, NIGERIAN NEWSPOINTER confirmed that the misunderstanding arose over the wedding of Tijjani Suleiman and Saratu Suleiman because the Kpanti wished to stop the wedding to frustrate the young lady Saratu from getting married to another man.

According to the Muslim tradition, when a man divorces a woman up to three times, she is free to be remarried by another man. However, the kpanti Zing didn’t wish the Saratu to be remarried because the prospective husband was not rich enough to challenge him.

Sadly enough, Abubakar Musa Doko, the assailant has continued to walk free while the Imam is fighting for his life in the hospital. He is boasting that nothing will happen to him as he is above the law.

It is on this note that the youths are calling on human rights bodies and good people of the state to intervene to prevent further fracas as the youths are angry, calling for justice for the Imam before escalation of the issue. They want all the people involved like Baba Zing Lau and Shekara Ibrahim and Abubakar Musa Doko to be brought to book.

Muslims in Zing LGA of Taraba state condemn the act and want human rights and other agencies to intervene.
