Thunderstrike kills 70-year-old Imam in Kogi
A thunderstrike has tragically claimed the life of 70-year-old Malam Abu Yusuf in Abocho, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The incident occurred around 5:40 pm on Thursday during a heavy downpour in the area.
Residents of the community have been left in shock and mourning following the unfortunate event.
Dansoho Sulaiman, a local indigene said that Yusuf was in good health before his untimely death.
Sulaiman recounted, “A family member called to inform me of his passing. There was a heavy rain in Abocho throughout the afternoon and into the evening. He was outside when suddenly there was thunder and lightning.
“He became a victim and lost his life. Such an incident has never occurred in Abocho community. While I’ve heard of a similar event in Anyigba, the people of Abocho are deeply saddened by this news because he was healthy just moments before. The deceased was the Imam of the Angwa community.”
Yusuf will be laid to rest according to Islamic rites on Friday.
