Zainab Dokubo, the first wife of Mujahid Dokubo Asari, is dead.
She died in a motor accident on her way to Ibadan on Wednesday.
Alhaji
Ishaq Kunle Sanni, chairman Oyo state Muslim community, who confirmed
the death in a statement said Zainab was already a Muslim years before
she married Dokubo.
He recalled that Zainab, who lived in Ibadan
had to relocate to Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa when she was appointed
Secretary of the Muslims Pilgrims Board.
“Even then, there was hardly any month she was not in Ibadan for one Islamic programme or the other.
“She was a member of many Islamic organisations in Ibadan
including Oluyole Muslim community under the Imamship of Imam Mudashir
Bada.
“It is interesting she was coming to her preferred town Ibadan when she met her destiny.
“She was survived by four children Amirah, Hassan, Hussain and Osama.
“May
Allah accept her multifarious and multidimensional jihad as acts
Ibadah and admit her to jannat Firdaous,” Alhaji Sanni said.
