A nephew to the deceased, Baba Isyak also confirmed the incident on Facebook today, Tuesday, July 20. Shuaib wrote;
"At this time yesterday Ohida Ismail was alive when he took his mother for a routine medical check-up. Unfortunately, while returning home after the check-up to prepare for Sallah festivity, the obedient child and beloved mother had an accident on the road,"
"Shuaib Bin Mohammed, his cousin, who always joins my family for Sallah, especially in preparing the Ram Meat, called to inform me that he had gone to attend to the accident victims in Okene.
By the time he got there the mother was died. While arrangement was being made to transport the son who was unconscious elsewhere for a better medical treatment, the son too died.
May Almighty Allah forgive their short-comings and grant them Aljannatul Firdaus. To @shuaibu bin Mohammed, family and friends, please accept our condolences even as we will surely miss you on today's Sallah festivity, our prayers is for all of us because we have final destination in life."
