FRSC give details on how Makarfi’s son died in Kaduna-Kano highway auto crash

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed the death of Faisal, son of former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, in a tragic auto crash along the Kaduna-Kano highway on Saturday.

The Kaduna State Sector Commander, Kabir Nadabo, provided an update, revealing that two other passengers involved in the accident remain unconscious.

Nadabo explained that the crash occurred at Lambar Zango along the Zaria-Kaduna highway at 18:15 hours. The accident was caused when the front right tyre of the KIA vehicle Faisal was traveling in from Zaria to Kaduna burst, leading to the vehicle somersaulting as the driver attempted to regain control.

A team from RS1.17 Birnin Yero responded to the scene of the accident, but despite their efforts, Faisal succumbed to his injuries. Further details on the condition of the two unconscious victims are yet to be provided.

”However, upon getting there, it was learnt that the father of one of the victims had made arrangements for him to be transported to an undisclosed hospital in Kaduna for medical attention.

”Therefore, the rescue team cleared the obstruction caused by the crash for traffic flow. Incidentally, it was later revealed that the son of former Governor of Kaduna State, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi, was involved in that crash.

”Upon reaching the hospital, he was confirmed dead while the driver and the third person are still unconscious at the time of this report.”

He said the former governor’s son was buried at Sultan Bello Mosque, Unguwar Sarki, Kaduna, at 10am, on Sunday.
