It was black and horrific Saturday for the family of Gabdo as the spectre of the horrendous event of the day will forever haunt members of the family which will remain permanently ingrained in their consciousness.
Hamman ’Gabdo, a principal manager in the human capital and administration department of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), died in a ghastly road accident on Saturday night.
The accident also claimed the lives of Gabdo wife, their four children, sister-in-law and the driver.

“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.
