Yusuf Falke, the uncle of Uwaisu Sunusi, shared the tragic details of his nephew's murder, which occurred on February 23, 2026, during a trip to Panshin Market. Uwaisu was one of four victims killed by gunmen who had set a roadblock on the Bariki Ladi bypass, where they searched for passengers before executing them. Falke described how Uwaisu and others attempted to comply with the assailants' demands while they faced a terrifying situation.

The attack highlights the ongoing insecurity faced by residents in the region, where banditry and targeted killings have escalated. Travelers on this route are often at risk due to the presence of armed groups who operate with impunity, causing fear and distress within local communities. Such incidents not only claim lives but also leave lasting trauma for families and the broader society.

Falke's testimony serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for security reforms and accountability in addressing the rising violence in Nigeria. As the family of Uwaisu calls for justice, their pain reflects a larger narrative of loss and the demand for government intervention to protect vulnerable citizens from escalating crime and violence in their daily lives.
