“She left behind her parents, brothers and sisters. May her soul rest in peace, may God Almighty give the family the courage to bear the fortitude especially the pillar of the family Hon Idi Barde Gubana,” the deputy governor’s aide stated.

This comes barely a few days after Gubana lost his son, Buni, to a road accident.

The Star had reported that the seven-year-old boy, who was named after the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, and two others died in a road accident along the Maiduguri-Kano expressway last Saturday.
