Dutse, Nigeria – The Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, has been struck by a double tragedy as his first son, Abdulwahab Umar Namadi, passed away in a fatal accident just a day after the death of the governor’s mother, Hajia Maryam Namadi.
Hajia Maryam Namadi died on Wednesday following a brief illness at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH). She was laid to rest on the same day, in accordance with Islamic rites.
Abdulwahab, 24, lost his life in a car accident on Thursday. He was the only fatality among those involved, while his friend, who was also in the vehicle, was rushed to a hospital for urgent medical treatment.
The back-to-back losses have plunged the Namadi family and Jigawa State into mourning.
