Confirming the tragic incident in a Facebook post, a close friend of the deceased wrote,
“To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. So Sad 😢 😭. I have received the news of the death of my brother Mudassir Lawal Galadima Mafara, which is today his wedding day and may Allah accept his life. Only God knows the reason for this.
I am very sad to hear this story, may God have mercy on him, may God enlighten his grave, may God grant us paradise. Oh God, when our time comes, may we die with faith.
