Tragedy has hit the home of a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Babangida Nguroje, as he lost two sisters, brother-in-law and their four children in a Nasarawa road accident on Saturday night.
The accident specifically claimed the lives of Hamman Gabdo, a principal manager at the Nigerian Communications Commission, his wife, their four children, sister-in-law and the driver.
The auto crash was said to have occurred along Akwanga-Keffi road in Nasarawa State on Saturday night.
The family members were reportedly returning to Abuja from a trip to Taraba when the accident occurred.
Zainab Gabdo and Hadiza were sisters to Babangida Nguroje, former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives.
In a statement issued on Sunday, President Muhammadu Buhari condoled with the family of the deceased.
“I am lost for words to describe such multiple deaths in a single car accident in which family members perished,” the President said in a statement signed by his spokesman, Garba Shehu.
“I received the news of this tragedy with deep shock and grief, and wish to express my heartfelt sympathy and solidarity with you at this trying and painful moment.”
He prayed to God to forgive the gentle souls of the deceased persons and comfort those they have left behind.
Ngoruje is the chairman of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission.
