…As Dep Gov. Kadafur Attends Funeral
A fatal automobile accident has claimed the lives of two biological sons of former Commissioner of Education and former Speaker Borno State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Inuwa Kini, Adamu and Audu.
The incident, which took place along the Kwaya-Kusar-Peta-Shani road on Wednesday evening, also left two others dead, when the car in which they were travelling lost control and hit a construction sand displayed by the contractor handling the construction of the federal highway.
The victims were said to be heading to Shani Local Government Area of the state from Maiduguri, in preparation for the campaign of the All Progressives Congress, APC, slated for launch by the Deputy Governor, Umar Kadafur, on Thursday for Borno South senatorial district.
All the victims, according to findings have been buried according to Islamic rites on Thursday afternoon.
Consequently, the state Deputy Governor, Hon. Kadafur had to cancel the campaign rally and traveled via a chopper to attend the funeral prayer and to sympathize with the families of the victims.
He prayed Allah to grant Jannatul Firdaus to the departed, forgive their shortcomings, accept their good deeds, and for the families of the deceased, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
During the condolences, Kadafur was accompanied by the senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, the Speaker Borno State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan, the lawmaker representing Gwoza/Chibok/Damboa federal constituency, Hon. Ahmed Jaha Babawo, and his counterpart representing Hawul/Askira/Uba federal constituency, Hon. Dr Haruna Mshelia, among other APC stalwarts.
