Governor Muhammadu Yahaya of Gombe State has mourned the death of no fewer than six family members of the Maidalan Gombe, Alhaji Ahmad Shehu, in a road crash.

Conveying Yahaya’s condolence in a press statement on Monday, the Director-General, Press Affairs, Ismaila Misilli, said the entire Gombe community was deeply saddened by the unfortunate event.
Yahaya, who attended the funeral prayers alongside the Emir of Gombe, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu-Abubakar III and hundreds of other sympathisers, noted that the loss of family members in such a tragic manner is quite devastating.
The statement partly read, “Our heartfelt condolences to Maidalan Gombe and the entire bereaved family members during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of six family members in such a tragic road accident is not only a profound loss to your family but it also deeply affects the entire Gombe people.
“Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt for the immense grief you and your loved ones are experiencing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you pass through this heartbreaking time.”
While praying for the repose of souls Yahaya added, “Almighty Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the deceased and reward their good deeds with Aljannat Firdaus.”
