Ufuwai Bonet is the monarch of Gworok (Kagoro) Chiefdom, a Nigerian traditional state in southernKaduna State, Nigeria. He is also known by the title "Chief of Kagoro (Gworok)".[1][2][3] As of 2016, he is the deputy chairman of the Kaduna State council of chiefs and emirs.[4]
In 2011, he led the Kaduna State Christians to pilgrimage in Israel, Egypt, Rome and Greece, in which two absconded.[5]
In January 2017, while addressing the Nigerian Chief of Defense Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin on a visit to his palace after the attacks by Fulani terrorists, he assured:
“If you hear anything happening, our people just go on revenge, they never attacked. Am telling you this between me and my God..."[6]
Later in February, in an address to the CAN, over the same issue, Bonet admonished:
“CAN should approach the leaders and prevail on them to make statements on what their people are doing. They have moved down to the south, nowhere is safe. You have a job to do to get all the Christians together so that we can be one.”[7]
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, he urged the people, village and ward heads in his realm to abide by the lockdown orders as liquor sellers hesitated to comply.[9]
