The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has revealed details of the accident which took the life of Faisal Makarfi son of former Kaduna State governor Ahmed Makarfi.
Kaduna State FRSC sector commander Kabir Nadabo told NAN on Sunday that Makarfi and two men were travelling in a KIA vehicle from Zaria to Kaduna when the front right tyre completely removed, leading to the somersaulting of the vehicle.
He said the crash occurred at Lambar Zango along Zaria-Kaduna Highway at 6:15pm on Saturday.
Nadabo said that a team from RS1.17 Birnin Yero responded to the scene.
According to him, the two other men were “still unconscious” in a hospital.
“…Upon getting there, it was learnt that the father of one of the victims had made arrangements for him to be transported to an undisclosed hospital in Kaduna for medical attention.
“Therefore, the rescue team cleared the obstruction caused by the crash for traffic flow.
“Incidentally, it was later revealed that the son of former Governor of Kaduna State, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi, was involved in that crash.
“Upon reaching the hospital, he was confirmed dead while the driver and the third person are still unconscious at the time of this report.
“The burial of the former governor’s son is slated for 10 a.m today at Sultan Bello Mosque, Unguwar Sarki, Kaduna,” Nadabo said.
