Father-in-law To Sultan Of Sokoto, Emir Of Bichi Buried In Kano

The late father-in-law to the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, and the Emir of Bichi, Nasiru Ado Bayero, Mallam Imam Galadanci has been buried in Kano on Wednesday.

The remains of the late Galadanci were brought from London on Tuesday following his death in London after a long illness.

Naija News reports both the Sultan and the Emir of Bichi are married to the daughters of the deceased.

The funeral prayer for their late father-in-law was led by the Chief Imam of Abuja National Mosque, Professor Shehu Ahmad at the Kano Emir’s Palace.

Speaking shortly after the prayer, Dr Gwani Farouk described the late Imam as a good man who lived an accomplished life and described his death as painful.

“It’s very painful to me because he is the one that employed me to teach Hausa in the school. Many of the people you see here were his students.

“He was a very honest person, patient, very enterprising and had a good relationship with almost every lecturer. He was our mentor and a great loss to not only Kano but Nigeria at large.”

Similarly, a former Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmad Idris said “This is a great loss not only to us from Kano but to the entire nation. We have lost a father, a scholar and a role model to all of us because he lived a very important life worthy of emulation by all that we all cherished to live.

“We really have to mourn this great loss. We will miss him because of the wisdom and humility that he emits and we all learnt from that.”

Some of the dignitaries who attended the funeral rites were the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, Emir of Bichi, Nasiru Ado Bayero, among others.
