Nasir El-Rufai Loses Brother & Nephew In One Day

The former FCT minister lost his brother, nephew and three of their friends in a car accident yesterday. He took to twitter late last night to express his pain.

Please join us in praying for the souls of my brother Ibrahim El-Rufai, my nephew Lawal Sani Gwandu and their three friends that died today.

It is sad when one's younger sibling pre-deceased one. I was Ibrahim's big brother and protector from bullies. He died today. Allahu Akbar.

My nephew Lawal was a baby I had nursed. He was my sister's eldest son. The motor accident took his life, Ibrahim's and three others today.

May the souls of these young people rest in perfect peace. May God Grant the parents and families the fortitude to bear the losses, Ameen?..
