Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai is in mourning following the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, who passed away on Friday.
The loss was confirmed by the El-Rufai family, according to security analyst Zagozola Makama.
Family sources disclosed that the late Hajiya Umma had been battling age-related health challenges, which worsened in recent times.
The sources further revealed that her condition reportedly deteriorated after she learned of the detention of her son by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
They also noted that El-Rufai had been closely managing his mother’s health before her passing.
The family prayed for Almighty Allah to forgive her shortcomings and grant her Aljannatul Firdaus.
