Abdullahi Umar, the younger brother to Umar Faruq, the Emir of Daura, has died in a road accident.
The younger Umar died in a fatal road accident along Katsina/Daura Road on Sunday along with his two friends.
It is not yet known how the incident occurred as details are scanty.
Aminu Masari, Governor of Katsina State, on Monday led a state government delegation to pay the emir, who is the traditional ruler of President Muhammadu Buhari’s hometown, a condolence visit.
The governor was received at the Emir’s palace by the Emir, the state Attorney-General, Ahmed El-Marzuq; and Ambassador Adamu Sa’idu.
Governor Masari also visited the residences of the other two deceased persons where he condoled with their families.
He prayed to God to shower His mercies on the souls of the deceased and grant the grieving families the fortitude to bear the loss.
Late Abdullahi Umar is survived by one wife, eight children, and relations, including the Emir of Daura.
