President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Babangida Nguroje, over the death his two sisters, Zainab and Hajiya Hadiza in a road crash.

Hadiza’s husband, Nuhu Hamman’Gabdo with their four kids also perished in the ghastly accident.

Hamman’Gabdo is said to be a staff of the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) in Abuja and held the traditional title of Galadima of Gashaka Chiefdom.

The deceased and his family were returning to Abuja after a visit to his hometown in Gashaka Local Government Area of Taraba.

His car collided with a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, leading to a fire outbreak that engulfed both cars, killing all the occupants.
