The Commission of Enquiry into the Yendi Clashes has been told that although the Late Ya-Na Yakubu Andani sent an SOS message on the morning of his death, he could not be rescued. The District Chief Executive of Yendi, Mohammed Habib Tijani said the late Ya Na first sent an SOS message through one Abdulai Zibrim. The Yendi Divisional Police Commander and District director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) also came with the same SOS message. But the Military did not respond immediately because a Mowag (armoured car) that could convey military personnel for the rescue mission had no battery.
