Naijaonpoint reported that the ex-governor’s son died in an accident that happened along the Kaduna-Zaria highway on Saturday evening.
The FRSC’s Kaduna State Sector Commander, Kabir Nadabo, while confirming the accident to journalists on Sunday in Kaduna, said that two others were unconscious as a result of the crash.
Nadabo said a KIA vehicle was travelling from Zaria to Kaduna when the front right tyre was removed from the car, and in an attempt to control the vehicle, it somersaulted.

Nadabo added that three persons, all males, were involved in the accident.
He said, “The road traffic crash occurred at Lambar Zango along Zaria-Kaduna Highway at 18:15hrs.
“A team from RS1.17 Birnin Yero responded to the scene.
“However, upon getting there, it was learnt that the father of one of the victims had made arrangements for him to be transported to an undisclosed hospital in Kaduna for medical attention.
“Therefore, the rescue team cleared the obstruction caused by the crash for traffic flow.”
