The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar lll, has confirmed an auto crash that involved his son known as Amir Sa’ad, on Sunday.
FOW24 News had reported that the accident happened when Amir was in the company of a young man, Khalifa
Muhammad Maccido Yusuf, and a female, Zainab Bara’u Isah and critically injured but were evacuated to Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, for treatment.
A statement made available to journalists on Tuesday, and signed by Umar Faruk Ladan, Secretary sultanate council Sokoto, disclosed that all the victims involved are all responding to treatment.
According to the statement, “the Sultanate council is pleased to announce that Amir Sa’ad Abubakar who is hospitalised on account of injuries he sustained along with his two
cousins in an automobile accident in Sokoto, on Sunday, September 9, 2018, is rapidly responding to treatment”.
The emir, however, appreciated family members, friends and well-wishers who had been unsettled since the news of the accident was sensationally broken by a section of social media.
He also reassured that all those involved in the crash are in good hands in the hospital and are all responding positively to treatment.
