Posting on his Facebook page, Saqafa who wrote in Hausa, said:
"Oh Allah, we are begging you in the name of your son, deliver us from those we know and those we do not know.
This little boy's eyes were plucked by people who are by all means and in the most atrocious way, in Zaria.
Do not allow them to have peace of mind in this world. Let them meet their doom like in the days of Prophets Shuaibu, Salihu and that of Nuhu.
May you also heal this boy, give him good health and guide him, Amen."

Usmanwho had been admitted to the Ahmadu Bello University where he was treated for the severe injuries he sustained, now appears well and fully healed.
Sadly, little Usman will never see again.
