This young man right here was reportedly mistaken for a Fulani because of his fair complexion.
That was all it took.
Abdullahi Bello was brutally attacked in Rantya, Jos, and by the time his sister, Hannatu Bello, got to the hospital in Dadin Kowa after a call from the police, she found her brother with machete cuts all over his body.
He died in the early hours of Monday.
Just imagine that.
A Nigerian allegedly lost his life not because of what he did, but because of what someone thought he looked like.
If this is where we’ve gotten to, then we have finally descended to a point where complexion has become a death sentence.
May God expose those behind this wickedness, comfort the Bello family, and also grant them the fortitude to bear this painful loss./Solomon Dalung
