The Executive Secretary of the Bauchi State Health Contributory Management Agency, Alhaji Ibrahim Ladan Duguri, and four of his children have died in a fatal motor accident at Yalwan Duguri in Alkaleri Local Government Area of the state.
The car crash has thrown the state into mourning, with Governor Bala Mohammed describing the deceased as a close personal friend and classmate .
THE ACCIDENT
The accident occurred on Saturday. The deceased’s children were identified as Hajara, Usman, Rukayya and Maryam, while another son, Suleiman, reportedly survived the crash.
THE GOVERNOR’S CONDOLENCE
Governor Mohammed expressed condolences on behalf of his family, the state government and the people of Bauchi State, describing the incident as a devastating loss.
“The death of Ibrahim Duguri represents a monumental loss to Bauchi State, particularly the health sector, where he distinguished himself through dedication, commitment, and an unwavering passion for improving access to healthcare services for the people,” the governor said.
He said Duguri played a significant role in advancing the state’s health contributory management system and supporting efforts to make healthcare more accessible, particularly to less privileged residents.
The governor described the deceased as a close personal friend and classmate, saying his death was a personal loss beyond the loss of a dedicated public servant.
“His death, therefore, represents not only the loss of a valued public servant but also the painful departure of a beloved family member and trusted companion whose life was marked by service, loyalty, and dedication to humanity,” the statement quoted the governor as saying.
THE FUNERAL
The funeral prayer for the deceased is scheduled to hold at 11 am on Sunday, October 18, at the palace of the District Head of Yalwan Duguri.
WHY IT MATTERS
The death of Ibrahim Duguri and four of his children is a tragedy of immense proportions.
Duguri was a public servant who dedicated his career to improving healthcare access for the people of Bauchi State. His death, and the deaths of four of his children in a single accident, is a loss that no words can adequately capture.
For the people of Bauchi, the tragedy is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of road safety.
