The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has refuted an online report claiming that his mother d!ed on Monday, January 19, 2026, describing the story as false and misleading.
Ribadu said he had been inundated with calls and messages from friends and associates following the circulation of the claim.
While appreciating those who reached out to commiserate with him, the NSA clarified that his mother passed away 28 years ago and could not have d!ed on the stated date.
He explained the person who d!ed on Monday was Hajja Mamma Sulaiman Ribadu, the wife of his late uncle.
Ribadu offered prayers for the deceased, asking Allah SWT to forgive her shortcomings, bless her soul, and grant her Aljannat Firdaus.
He also thanked those who stood by the family during the loss, praying that Allah rewards them abundantly.
