Bandits attack Gombe community, murder activist, four-month-pregnant sister (Video)
The grieving family of Alhaji Muhammad Yusuf is demanding justice following the brutal killing of activist Yusuf Muhammad and his four-month-pregnant sister, Fa’iza Muhammad, who were murdered by bandits at their family home in Abbayo Quarters, Pingida, Akko local government area of Gombe State.
The sad incident occurred when bandits invaded the deceased’s home at the residence of Alhaji Muhammad Yusuf (Malam Pindiga) along Kashere Road in Gombe State around 12:52 am on 28/December/2025.
A family source and childhood friend of the deceased, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the incident, told Neptune Prime exclusively that the attackers, about seven in number, arrived heavily armed with guns and knives, though only two of them entered the house.

He said the assailants stabbed the two siblings to death and abducted a 16-year-old girl, Zainab Yusuf.
The witness said the entire community is gripped with fear and mourning, as this is the first time such a gruesome incident has occurred in the area.
Neptune Prime gathered that the deceased pregnant woman was based in Kano with her husband and only came home to visit relatives who were involved in an accident.
“She was the younger sister of the murdered activist, and they didn’t take anything from the house during the attack. Such an attack has never happened; it was the first time and also new to us.
“The deceased’s mother, Hajiya Aishatu Muhammad, fainted and was rushed to Pindiga Cottage Hospital for medical care, but she was discharged yesterday around 11am,” he revealed.
The family source described Yusuf Muhammad as an activist renowned for speaking out against banditry, injustice in the town, and poor governance.
