Scene of the accident
According to a Premium Times report, three APC members from Kano
State died in an auto crash in Zaria on their way to Abuja on Saturday
morning.
The deceased include a councilor representing Diso ward in Gwale
Local Government Area of Kano State, Abdulwahab Inuwa, and two of his
friends, Abdullahi Idris and Abubakar Diso.
They reportedly set out early on Saturday to join other APC members at the convention in Abuja.
An eyewitness, Murtala Lawan, told Premium Times that the Honda CRV
conveying the deceased somersaulted at Amaryawa village, few kilometres
from Zaria. He said they were trying to rescue the deceased when the
car burst into flames.
Mr. Lawan said they watched the three deceased burn as they could not put out the fire.
A younger brother of the deceased councilor, Bello Inuwa, told
journalists in Kano that the family received the sad news from a good
Samaritan who phoned the family.
He explained that his brother just came back from Islamic Umrah in Saudi Arabia six days ago.
The funeral prayer for the deceased was conducted by the Chief Imam
of Kano, Sani Zaharaddeen, at Kano Central Mosque around 4:30 p.m. on
Saturday.
