It is with a deep sense of loss and submission to the will of Almighty Allah that I received the sad news of the passing of our father, and elder statesman, Alhaji Mamman Ajiyan Kontagora.
On behalf of myself and my family, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Ajiya family, the Wali’s family, the entire Kontagora Emirate and the good people of Kontagora over this great loss.
Late Alhaji Mamman Ajiyan Kontagora was a devoted kinsman, a dedicated and good retired civil servant, a loving father, an uncle, a grandfather, and a great grandfather. He lived a life of service, dignity, and community. His wisdom, guidance, and prayers will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
We pray that Allah SWT forgives his shortcomings, accepts his good deeds, and grants him Al-Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah also grant the Ajiya family, the Wali’s family, and the Kontagora Emirate the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Allah ya jikan sa da rahamarsa, ya gafarta masa, ya kuma sanya aljanna makomarsa. Amin.
