The Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, alongside its Board of Directors, has expressed profound grief following the tragic loss of two intending pilgrims, Alkasim Ibrahim Walawa and his mother, Hadiza Garba, who died in a road accident along the Rimin Gado Kano route.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the Board, Sulaiman Abdullahi Dederi, said Alkasim Ibrahim Walawa, 48, is survived by his two wives and seven children, while his mother, Hadiza Garba, 73, leaves behind five children.
Both were natives of Walawa Village in Kabo Local Government Area of Kano State.
The unfortunate incident has been described as especially painful, as the deceased were preparing to embark on the sacred journey of Hajj, a spiritual obligation they deeply cherished.
In a joint condolence message, the Board and its management prayed for Almighty Allah to forgive their shortcomings and grant them eternal peace in Aljannatul Firdaus.
They also extended their sincere sympathies to the bereaved family, urging them to find strength and patience in this moment of grief.
