[1][2] Despite Mohammed Marwa's death, Yan Tatsine riots continued into the early 1980s.
In October 1982, riots erupted in Bulumkuttu, near Maiduguri, and in Kaduna, to where many Yan Tatsine adherents had moved after 1980.
Some survivors of these altercations moved to Yola, and in early 1984 more violent uprisings occurred in that city.
[1][2] Ultimately more than 1,000 people died in Yola and roughly half of the city's 60,000 inhabitants were left homeless.
Makaniki fled to his hometown of Gombe, where more Yan Tatsine riots occurred in April 1985.
