A ghastly motor accident has claimed the lives of two sons of the former Commissioner of Education and ex-Speaker Borno State House of Assembly, Hon Inuwa Kubo.
The deceased, Adamu and Audu, were heading to Shani Local Government Area from Maiduguri in preparation for the campaign of the All Progressives Congress when the accident occurred.
The accident is said to have occurred along the Kwaya-Kusar- Peta- Shani road on Wednesday evening.
Also lost to the crash are two others. It is said that the car they were travelling in lost control and hit a construction sand left by the contractor handling the construction of the federal highway.
According to Vanguard, all the victims were buried on the same day according Islamic rites.
Due to the sad incident, the State Deputy Governor, Hon. Umar Usman Kadafur cancelled the campaign rally and travelled via a chopper to attend the funeral prayer and to sympathise with the families of the victims.
During the condolences, Kadafur was accompanied by the Senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, Speaker of Borno State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan, Federal lawmaker representing Gwoza, Chibok and Damboa, Hon. Ahmed Jaha Babawo, and his counterpart representing Hawul/ Askira-UBA Federal Constituency, Hon. Dr Haruna Mshelia among other APC stalwarts.
