**KATSINA STATE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES THE UNFORTUNATE PASSING OF RETIRED MAJOR GENERAL RABE ABUBAKAR RTD*

The Katsina State Government, with a heavy heart and deep sense of loss, wishes to inform the general public of the tragic passing of Retired Major General Rabe Abubakar.

It is with profound sadness that we confirm the General’s death while in bandits captivity. Despite the relentless and concerted efforts of the State Government and various Security Agencies to secure his safe release, the situation ended in this tragedy.

The deceased Retired General died a natural death from complications of diabetes and hypertension.

His abduction and subsequent death are not only a loss to his family and Katsina State but a monumental loss to the entire country.

His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Katsina State Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, PhD, CON, extends his deepest condolences to the family of the late General and the country at-large. The Governor has described this incident as a "dark moment" and a reminder of the urgent need for a collective and intensified front against the criminal elements threatening the peace of our communities.

The Katsina State Government remains committed to working with the Federal Government and security forces to ensure that those responsible for this heinous act are brought to justice. We assure the citizens of Katsina State that our resolve to eliminate banditry and ensure the safety of all residents remains unshaken.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family during this difficult time. May the soul of the departed Retired Major General Rabe Abdulakdir rest in eternal peace.

DR. NASIRU MU'AZU,
Hon. Commissioner Internal Security & Home Affairs

If you passed through Ahmadu Bello University Zaria between 1978 – 2020 and you don’t know his face, then you are not a genuine Abusite!🫰

Pro.Krzysztof Schoeneich was born before the last world war, precisely in the year 1932. He was admitted to the University of Warsaw in 1950, where he studied Geology. He acquired a Master of Science degree in 1955 in the same field and thereafter a Doctoral Degree in hydrogeology (1963).

The legendary geology scholar began his teaching career in the university system in 1955 at the Department of Geology, the University of Warsaw in Poland. He later worked at the Department of Geotechnics and Soil Mechanics at the University of Szczecin.

Prof Krzysztof Schoeneich is one of the biggest icons of ABU Zaria and a legend in the field of Geology in Nigeria and beyond.

One thing that amazes me about this man is his patience while walking. To be sincere, I have never seen him in a car before. His feet are his wheels, for he believes that by trekking, he is reducing his carbon footprints on the earth's surface and helping nature.

His humility is priceless. When you greet him, he removes his cap, bows his head, and replies, "Good day, Ma'am/Sir." This gesture is always heart-melting.

Prof Schoeneich is a gift to nature. The trees, the birds, the cats & all other animals loved him because he always cared & nurtured them. He almost never walks alone, for there's always a cat strolling right behind him... Lol. He walks with nature. He was always against the cutting down of trees. He constantly preaches about harnessing "Geothermal energy as an alternative source of fuel in Nigerian homes."

Prof. Krzysztof Schoeneich never misses any program that has “Environmental Sustainability" attached to it. I once engaged him in a conversation. All he spoke about was Environmental Sustainability. If he was to give a TEDTalk on the Environment, it would be one of the longest TEDTalks ever given. He can convince you to dump your cars & start trekking. He told me that he is old but still has a longer lifespan than most Nigerians because he's always in motion with his feet & not in cars. All I can say is, the world, Nigeria & the North have been blessed with his presence.After serving ABU for a good 40 years, Emeritus Prof finally returned back to his country, Poland.

Professor Schoeneich died on Friday, September 4, 2020, in Warsaw, Poland, his home country, after leaving Nigeria on July 12, 2020.
