Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, a former Kaduna State Governor, has lost his mother, Hajiya Umma, who passed away on Friday.
The family made the announcement on the same day.
The deceased was said to have been battling age-related health challenges, which worsened in recent times.
Her condition reportedly deteriorated further after she learned of her son’s detention by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
The family noted that El-Rufai had been closely managing his mother’s health prior to her demise.
They prayed for Almighty Allah to forgive her shortcomings and grant her Aljannatul Firdaus.
