In 1995, a group of 9 Wahabist fundamentalists in Kano killed & beheaded a young Igbo Trader, Gideon Akaluka.

They lied that he desecrated the Holy Qur'an, Abacha assassinated all of them, except One.

Abacha didn't play no games with political uprisings and religious extremism, He wanted the last of the 9 dead.

Even with appeals and entreaties by the Northern Aristocracy that he would disappear & cause no trouble if pardoned, Abacha insisted on punishment.

So he was caught, It's interesting to note that the person who led the group that begged for his life was Alhaji Umar Mutallab.

For those asking what happened to “The One” who was caught.

Abacha spared him and sent him to Prison in Kano, later Sokoto and was latter released. His mentors persuaded him to remember his royal roots and family name. And that if he was that passionate about Islam, he can enrol in Uni and study it.
