A family source revealed that Muhammed was swiftly taken to Shifa Hospital, Lokoja, soon after he collapsed at his home late Thursday night. Despite efforts, doctors pronounced him clinically dead at 4:30 am on Friday.

Hailing from ward B in the cantonment area of Lokoja, the deceased is set to be laid to rest at the Unguwan Kura Muslim cemetery following the Juma’at prayer on Friday.

The confirmation of his demise was also affirmed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lokoja, Talba Lakwaja, in an official statement.
