Gumsu, wife of Governor Mai Mala Buni and daughter of General Sani Abacha, had broken the news of her brother’s death in a tweet.
“Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un. I lost my younger brother Abdullahi Sani Abacha. He died in his sleep. May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him jannatul firdous, Ameen. Please include him in your prayers,” she wrote.
