“The 24-year-old departed this world on Thursday, December 26, 2024, due to a ghastly motor accident along the Dutse-Kafin-Hausa Road.
“The burial rites are currently underway in Kafin Hausa town in accordance with Islamic traditions.”
According to the governor’s spokesperson, Abdulwahab is survived by his parents, Governor Umar Namadi and his wife, as well as his many siblings.
“This tragic incident comes just a day after the governor mourned the passing of his mother, Hajia Maryam Namadi,” the statement added.
The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the state, with many residents expressing their condolences to the governor and his family.
