Day 3 (English) of me telling you to avoid Libya.
The risk of abduction is high.
I met a Nigerian who was abducted, tortured, used as a slave by the Arabs for 8 months, and he still paid a ransom for his freedom.
I met a young man from Edo who was abducted and sent to Central Africa Republic (CAR), then got sold to a second set of kidnappers. After two captivity spells and five months on the road without getting to his destination in Libya, he made a U-turn to Nigeria.
I was almost kidnapped myself.
And guess what? If you get abducted and you pay the ransom quickly, problem. If you pay it late, problem!

8 cows killed, 74 stolen as suspected Mwaghavul militia attack herders in Mangu, says victims
By: Zagazola Makama
At least eight cows were reportedly killed, 17 others and two sheep injured, while 74 cattle were allegedly stolen during an attack by suspected armed Mwaghavul militia and their accomplices at Lamor, Lawet, in Pushit District of Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, according to victims
The incident reportedly occurred at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 27, 2026, according to information provided to Zagazola Makama.
Victims of the attack said the attackers, who were reportedly heavily armed, targeted livestock belonging to herders in the area before fleeing with the stolen cattle.
The incident has raised fresh concerns among residents and livestock owners in the area, particularly because it reportedly occurred about two weeks after another attack in which three herders were allegedly killed and about 50 cattle stolen.
The latest incident, if confirmed, would represent another serious escalation in attacks involving livestock and rural communities in Mangu, where recurring violence has continued to deepen mistrust between communities.
The Federal Government, Plateau State Government, Mangu Local Government Council and security agencies are urged to urgently investigate the reported attack, establish those responsible and take appropriate action in accordance with the law.
Security agencies should also strengthen surveillance and patrols around vulnerable settlements and livestock routes in the affected areas to prevent further attacks, cattle rustling and possible retaliatory violence.
The priority, however, should remain the protection of civilians, recovery of stolen livestock and prevention of another cycle of reprisal attacks that could further endanger both communities.
Residents and community leaders are equally urged to provide credible information to security agencies and avoid actions capable of escalating the situation.
Hadith 34/430. Umdatul Ahkam.
(Chapter on Ghusl from Janabah)
Maymūnah bint al-Ḥārith (رضي الله عنها), the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said:
“I prepared water for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the bath of janābah. He poured water with his right hand over his left hand twice or three times and then washed his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand against the ground or the wall twice or three times,(which in other words means he washed his hands 3 times). Then he rinsed his mouth and nose, washed his face and forearms, then poured water over his head, and then washed the rest of his body. Then he moved away and washed his feet. I brought him a cloth, but he did not take it, and he began wiping the water from his body with his hand.”
Arabic:
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: وَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَضُوءَ الْجَنَابَةِ، فَأَكْفَأَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ يَدَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ أَوِ الْحَائِطِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذ��رَاعَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ، ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّهَا، فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ بِيَدِهِ
Detailed Explanation:
This is one of the most detailed descriptions of the Prophet’s ﷺ ghusl.
1. He washed his hands.
He poured water over his right hand and washed the left, then repeated it.
2. He washed his private parts.
This removed any physical impurity that might have been present.
3. He cleaned his hand.
He rubbed his hand against the ground or wall after washing the private parts.
4. He rinsed his mouth and nose.
The Arabic words are:
تَمَضْمَضَ — rinsed the mouth.
اسْتَنْشَقَ — drew water into the nose.
5. He washed his face and arms.
This resembles the normal components of wudu.
6. He poured water over his head.
The water was made to reach the hair and scalp.
7. He washed the rest of his body.
This completes the general purification of the body.
8. He washed his feet afterward.
This shows that the feet can be washed at the end of ghusl.
9. He declined the cloth.
Maymūnah brought him a cloth to dry himself, but he did not use it on this occasion. Instead, he removed water from his body with his hands.
Important point:
The fact that he did not use the cloth does not mean drying oneself after ghusl is forbidden. It simply shows that he chose not to use it on that occasion.

In Plateau State, Fulani people are being killed, their cattle rustled and stolen, and their homes destroyed by the same people who play the victim card in the media daily. The governor has ignored their plight and chosen to be biased.
They cannot provide evidence of Fulani killing them, yet there is ample evidence of their own kinsmen being arrested for various atrocities. They ignore this and continue to blame the Fulani out of deep-seated hatred for Islam and Muslims.
With 24 hours gone and ‘Aminu from Yobe State’ still not found, I am reproducing a Hausa version of my original post for wider reach, courtesy of @Salimsanishehu1:

“Wallahi, if you cannot protect us, allow our children to defend us,” grieving mother cries after son and livestock killings by Mwaghavul militiamen in Mangu
By: Zagazola Makama
The mother of a Fulani herder reportedly killed during an attack at Lawet and Lamor in Pushit District, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, has made an emotional appeal to security agencies to protect her family and other vulnerable residents from further attacks.
In an emotional video obtained by Zagazola Makama, the grieving mother, overwhelmed by the loss of her son, called on the authorities to take immediate action and prevent further killings.
“Wallahi, if you cannot protect us, allow our own children to defend us,” she said, expressing frustration over what she described as the failure of authorities to provide adequate protection.
The woman was speaking after her son was reportedly killed during the attack on herders and livestock around Lawet and Lamor at about 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026.
According to information from the area, the attackers suspected to be Mwaghavul militiamen reportedly used tear-gas canisters before opening fire with automatic rifles, allegedly targeting cattle that had been tied inside enclosures at the residences of the herders.
One Fulani herder was reportedly killed, while the exact number of cattle killed or injured was still being established.
The circumstances surrounding the attack and the identities of those responsible are yet to be independently established.
The mother’s emotional appeal, however, highlights a deeper concern in the continuing violence in parts of Mangu: when victims believe that the state cannot protect them or deliver justice, some may begin to consider taking security into their own hands.
That is precisely the point at which a security crisis can become even more dangerous.
The tragedy is that a grieving family seeking protection can easily become a community mobilised for retaliation if authorities fail to respond quickly and credibly.
At the same time, calls for self-defence must not become a licence for reprisals against innocent people.Every community has civilians who deserve protection, regardless of ethnicity or religion.
The growing frustration among victims also places a responsibility on the Plateau State Government and security authorities to demonstrate, through concrete action, that violence will be investigated and that perpetrators will face the law.
May Allah forgive the shortcomings of whoever took the shahadah first in my lineage, have mercy upon everyone in the transmission till it got to me, may He not take my life except He's pleased with me and may Islam remain in my lineage forever.
