LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Adamu Ali, the nephew of Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, and two security operatives identified as Nura Sufyanu and Kabir Ali have died in a ghastly motor accident in Katsina State.
The incident took place at night on 17 March, in the Musawa Local Government Area of the State.
Masari’s Director General in charge of Social media, El-Amin Isa, and the spokesman for the Katsina Police Command, SP Gambo Isah, confirmed the accident.
According to reports, the victims along with others were on their way to the Governor’s hometown, Kafur ahead of the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections.
Some Sources have attributed the accident to bad portions of the road in the area.
According to a source: “The victims were about to get to a bridge in the area on Friday night when they ran into bad portions of the road which forced the vehicle they were traveling in to skip and somersault, leading to their deaths.”
Three others who sustained injuries in the accident initially received treatments at the General Hospital, Malumfashi, before they were evacuated to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina.
Arrangements have reportedly begun for their burial later today as the Police spokesman said the bodies of the victims had been evacuated from the scene to a morgue in Katsina.
The Police spokesman said: “The accident happened on Friday night. The victims were going to Kafur, the governor’s hometown for the governorship and State House of Assembly elections. We have evacuated the bodies of the victims to Katsina.”
