They reportedly set out early on Saturday to join other APC members at the convention in Abuja.

An eyewitness, Murtala Lawan, told Premium Times that the Honda CRV conveying the deceased somersaulted at Amaryawa village, few kilometres from Zaria. He said they were trying to rescue the deceased when the car burst into flames.

Mr. Lawan said they watched the three deceased burn as they could not put out the fire.

A younger brother of the deceased councilor, Bello Inuwa, told journalists in Kano that the family received the sad news from a good Samaritan who phoned the family.

He explained that his brother just came back from Islamic Umrah in Saudi Arabia six days ago.

“It is so sad that this is happening to our brother as he just returned from Umrah just less than a week ago” he said

The funeral prayer for the deceased was conducted by the Chief Imam of Kano, Sani Zaharaddeen, at Kano Central Mosque around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
