Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has expressed shock and grief over the death of the daughter of the former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko.

Wamakko who is currently the Chairman of Senate Committee on Defence, lost his daughter, Sadiya, 23, at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto on Thursday following complications associated with childbirth.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Mr Yomi Odunuga, Omo-Agege prayed for God Almighty to comfort his grieving colleague and grant him fortitude to bear the loss.

“I feel personally hurt. In this part of the world, infant and maternal mortality have cost us so dearly with many families bearing long-term psychological scars and we must all renew efforts towards further curbing the problem.

“I pray that Almighty Allah, Maker of heaven and earth and all that exist therein, grant our dear Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko and members of his family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss” he stated.

The funeral prayer for Sadiya was conducted the same same day she died in accordance with Muslim tradition, at the residence of Senator Wamakko, Sahabi Dange road, Gawon Nama in Sokoto.
