Minister mourns Igala king's sister, granddaughter killed by fire

Prime 9ja Online reports that Prince Shuaibu Abubakar Audu, the Minister of Steel Development, has expressed his sympathy to the Igala king, His Royal Majesty, Alaji Mathew Opaluwa, over the death of his sister, Mallama Meimunat Opaluwa-Sani and her granddaughter.

The late Mallama Meimunat Opaluwa-Sani, 75, her daughter, Hajarat Usman Sani and her granddaughter, Onechojo, 5, were burnt to death by suspected arsonists in Idah on Thursday morning.

Prince Audu, in his condolence message released by his Special Assistant on Media, Lizzy Okoji on Friday, said the death of the late Mallama Opaluwa-Sani and her granddaughter was a tragic and sacrilegious act.

He said the death of Mallama Opaluwa-sani, Akwuma Attah Igala, was a great loss to the whole Igala Kingdom. He urged the security agencies to probe the alleged arson and bring the culprits of the wicked crime to justice.

He said: "It is with a heavy heart that I condole with our father, HRM, Alaji Mathew Opaluwa and the royal family over the deaths of his sister and her granddaughter, whose lives were taken in the most painful manner.

"I also commiserate with the entire people of Igala Kingdom at this time because this is a loss to every one of us.

"I call on security agencies to investigate the alleged arson and bring the perpetrators of this act to book so that it would serve as a deterrent to others. Such acts of sacrilege must be discouraged in our land.

"I pray that Almighty Allah grant the souls of the late Mallama Meimunat Opaluwa, and her granddaughter, Onechojo Aljanah Firdaus. I also pray Almighty Allah grants the family the heart to bear the loss," Audu stated.
