Member Of Vigilante Shoots Self Dead To Prove “Charm Bulletproof”

A member of Isan Gona Vigilante Group, Ahmadu Maikare of Gidan Jimina village of Malumfashi L.G.A, Katsina state shot himself dead while testing a new charm meant to protect him from gunshots.

According to Daily Trust, members of the vigilante group had converged at the residence of their leader, Sumaila Rabiu, at Dubul village in Matazu LGA to take part in a traditional ceremony and initiate new members when the incident happened.


Maikare was in the middle of the gathering to display the charms.

He wrapped himself up in the charms, did incantations, picked a dane gun and fired on himself. He died instantly.

Members of the vigilante groups fled after the incident. His relatives and friends stayed back to remove his corpse.


The Police Public Relation Officer in the state, DSP Gambo Isah confirmed the incidence and said investigation is currently ongoing on the matter.

This is just crazy. It should've been tested on animals first before humans. Even in science scientists have labs where they test rats before human beings.

RIP.
