Kashim Shettima, the vice-president-elect, has mourned the
death of two supporters who died in a car accident after paying him a
congratulatory visit in Abuja.

Reacting to the incident, Shettima said he was deeply pained
by their deaths, praying for comfort for their family and loved ones.
“I have just been notified of the death of two great supporters
and dedicated stalwarts, Hons. Iliyasu and Mallam Nuhu died in a fatal accident
while returning to their abode from Abuja,” Shettima said.
Innalillahi wa inna ilayhir raji’un.
