A fatal road accident has claimed the lives of some students of the Sa’adatu Rimi College of Education, Kumbotso, and Federal College of Education, Kano.
The fatal accident involved Abubakar Suleiman, the students union leader of Sa’adatu Rimi College, and members of his cabinets.
At least 15 other people reportedly sustained injuries in the accident which happened on their way to Katsina State for a zonal meeting.
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, after learning of the incident, commiserated with the families of the five students.
Ganduje in his condolence message said, “We were shocked over the death of our children, the 5 students who died in an auto crash on their way to Katsina State for zonal students’ meeting. The information was sad and tormenting.”
“We learned that they died around Bichi Local Government Area. They are Abubakar Sulaiman, Tahir A. Dalhatu, Maryam Abdullahi, A’isha Wada Abdulsalam and Usman Abubakar Abubakar. While the first four came from Sa’adatu Rimi College of Education, Kumbotso, the last person came from Federal College of Education, Kano,” he stated.
The Governor prayed for Allah’s blessing and forgiveness for the reposed souls and prayed for the quick recovery of other students on admission in the hospital.
According to the governor, “They were young, dedicated and responsible youth who chose to pursue education to move society forward. “They left us when we needed them. But our Creator, their Creator, Almighty Allah needed them the most. May He forgive all their shortcomings and reward their good deeds,” Ganduje expressed.
He added: “I am, therefore, on behalf of the government and people of Kano state, condoling members of their families, their friends, Sa’adatu Rimi College of Education, Kumbotso, Federal College of Education, Kano, students
leaders and all other students over this tragedy.”
