Barely twenty-four hours after death of his mother, Governor Umar Namadi has lost his 24-year-old son in a ghastly motor accident on Thursday.
A statement from the governor’s spokesperson, Hamisu Gumel, confirmed this tragic incident.
The statement reads:
“With a heavy heart and total submission to the will of Almighty Allah, His Excellency Mallam Umar Namadi, Governor of Jigawa State, announces the passing of yet another member of his family; his dear son Abdulwahab Umar Namadi.
“He departed this world this afternoon (Thursday, December 26th, 2024) as a result of a ghastly motor accident along Dutse-Kafin-Hausa Road.
“The burial rite is taking place at this moment in Kafin Hausa town, in accordance with Islamic traditions, the statement said.
“A 24 year old, late Abdulwahab is survived by his parents and many siblings.
“To Allah belongs that which He has taken, and to Him belongs that which He has given, and everything has an appointed time with Him.“
