Kano State is in shock following the sudden deaths of two serving members of the Kano State House of Assembly, who passed away within minutes of each other on Wednesday.
The deceased lawmakers are Hon. Aminu Sa’adu (also known as Hon. Aminu Saad Ungogo), representing the Ungogo/Ungogo Constituency, and Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji, representing the Kano Municipal Constituency.
Reports indicate that Hon. Aminu Sa’adu was the first to pass away, with news of Hon. Daneji’s death emerging just minutes later. Authorities have yet to disclose the causes of their deaths.
The heartbreaking development was confirmed on social media by Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, spokesperson to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. In a post, he offered the Islamic prayer of condolence, “Innalillahi Wa Inna Ilaihirrajiun,” as he announced the deaths.
The twin losses have plunged the state legislature and residents into mourning, marking a rare and deeply tragic day in Kano State’s political history.
