A district head, Mai Kanuribe of Lagos, Alhaji Mustapha Muhammadu, and other two persons have been confirmed dead in a ghastly road accident involving their vehicle which accompanied the convoy of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State.

The acciden reportedly occurred in the wee hours of Tuesday while the governor was heading back to Maiduguri, after he had flagged up the state’s APC membership revalidation exercise in his Mata Ward of Ajari Polling Unit in Mafa LGA of the State.

Alhaji Ali Bukar Dalori, Chief of Staff, Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Members of National and state Assembly, members of the state Executive Council, some Council Chairmen, SSA, SA, Top party members amongst others
