At the family house of the deceased, the Galadima of Kano, Abbas Sanusi, his younger brother who received the presidential delegation, commended the President for his support in their moment of grief.

According to the statement, those on the President’s delegation included, the Minister of Defence, retired Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Alhaji Sabo Nanono.
