The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed the death of Faisal, son of former Kaduna State Governor, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi.

Daily Trust had reported how Faisal died in an auto-crash along Kaduna-Kano highway, on Saturday.

Giving update on Sunday, Kaduna State Sector Commander, Kabir Nadabo, two other persons who were involved in the accident were “still unconscious”.

He said the road crash occurred at Lambar Zango along Zaria-Kaduna Highway “at 18:15hrs”.

According to him, the KIA vehicle in which the deceased was travelling from Zaria to Kaduna lost its front right tyre and in an attempt to control the vehicle, it somersaulted.

Nadabo said that a team from RS1.17 Birnin Yero responded to the scene.

”However, upon getting there, it was learnt that the father of one of the victims had made arrangements for him to be transported to an undisclosed hospital in Kaduna for medical attention.

”Therefore, the rescue team cleared the obstruction caused by the crash for traffic flow. Incidentally, it was later revealed that the son of former Governor of Kaduna State, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi, was involved in that crash.

”Upon reaching the hospital, he was confirmed dead while the driver and the third person are still unconscious at the time of this report.”
