TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) gathered that Hadiza died in Abuja on Wednesday night.
At the time of filing this report, the details surrounding her death remain unclear.
Confirming the sad news, Bawa in a brief statement, expressed his grief and noted that ten children survived his mother.
“Yes, it is true I lost my mother,” he stated during a telephone conversation with Daily Trust.
