Babangida Nguroje, former deputy speaker of the house of
representatives, has lost seven family members in a road accident.
It was gathered that the accident happened along
Akwanga-Keffi road in Nasarawa state on Saturday night.
The family members were reportedly returning to Abuja
from a trip to Taraba when the tragic
incident occurred.
Two sisters of Nguroje, their four children and one of the
in-laws of the former lawmaker all died in the accident.
In a statement, President Muhammadu Buhari condoled with the
family of the deceased.
“I am lost for words to describe such multiple deaths in a
single car accident in which family members perished,” the president said in a
statement, Garba Shehu, his spokesman, issued on his behalf.
“I received the news of this tragedy with deep shock and
grief, and wish to express my heartfelt sympathy and solidarity with you at
this trying and painful moment.”
He prayed to God to forgive the gentle souls of the deceased
persons and comfort those they have left behind.
