El Rufai’s Brother & Nephew Dead: Car Accident Killed 2 Of His Family Members

Mallam Nasir El Rufai is bereaved. The ex-FCT
minister lost his nephew and brother with 3 of their
friends in one day in a fatal car accident.
He took to Twitter on Saturday night to inform fans:
"On behalf of the El-Rufai family, I thank all of you for
the support, sympathies and prayers. May Almighty
God…
May the souls of these young people rest in perfect
peace. May God Grant the parents and families the
fortitude to bear the losses, Ameen?..
My nephew Lawal was a baby I had nursed. He was
my sister's eldest son. The motor accident took his
life, Ibrahim's and three others today.
It is sad when one's younger sibling pre-deceased
one. I was Ibrahim's big brother and protector from
bullies. He died today."
He also announced the death on Facebook
"Please join us in praying for the souls of my brother
Ibrahim El-Rufai, my nephew Lawal Sani Gwandu and
their three friends that died today.
On behalf of the El-Rufai family, I thank all of you for
the support, sympathies and prayers. May Almighty
God accept our prayers, Amen.
Ibrahim was my immediate kid brother, and until
recently worked with First Bank of Nigeria. He is
survived by our mother, his siblings, wives and
children. Our nephew Lawal Sani Gwandu was
younger, married and survived by his wife and
children too. Their three other friends that died in the
vehicle accident I did not know very well. May
Aljannah Firdaus be their final abode, Amen.
We just got into Kaduna with the five corpses. We
hope that they will be prepared for funeral prayers
scheduled for 3.30pm at Sultan Bello Mosque. They
will be buried insha Allah at the Dawaki Road
cemetery after the Asr prayers.
We thank you all and may God reward all in kind,
Amen. Nasir"
What a double tragedy. May their souls rest in peace.
