I led a high-powered delegation to Zuru, Kebbi State, to commiserate with the Emir of Zuru, Sanusi Muhammad Mika’ilu, and the family of the late Hajiya Hajara Hussaini (Innar Manir).
Her demise is a significant loss to her family, the people of Kebbi State, and our wider region. As we submit to the will of Almighty Allah, we pray that He, in His infinite mercy, forgives her shortcomings, grants her eternal repose in Aljannatul Firdaus, and comforts all those she left behind.
May Allah strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between our people and reward the deceased with His boundless mercy. Ameen. -AAS
