The Emirs were on their way to Bogoro, hometown of the Speaker on the 31st of December, 2021 to grace the 21st Baba Gonto memorial book launch when they were attacked.

The Emir, who was represented by Galadiman Bauchi, Surveyor Sa’idu Ibrahim Jahun, said it was disturbing that Dogara, being one of those who hail from Bogoro and a traditional title holder of the Bauchi Emirate Council was suspected to be one of those behind the attack on the Emirs .
