The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, made this known in a statement on Sunday.
Mohammed said the late matriarch will be laid to rest by 4:00 p.m. in Radda Village, Katsina State.
“We offer our deepest condolences and pray that Allah grants Hajiya Safara’u eternal peace in Jannatul Firdaus,” Mohammed said.
According to him, Hajiya Safara’u departed this world last night at the age of 93, describing her as a woman of remarkable strength and dignity, whose wisdom flowed from decades of lived experience.
