“Verily we belong to Allah, and verily to Him is our return! I lost an uncle (Alh Isa Ibrahim), my father’s younger brother of the same father and mother. I was with him in Gombe last Thursday. May Almighty Allah have mercy on his soul, and on all our deceased parents. May He also grant us good passage,” he posted.
Pantami shared a similar message on Twitter.
It would be recalled that Pantami had in late November last year also lost his 13-year-old daughter Aisha Isa Ali (Amal) in Abuja.
