Two women have met their death while returning from shopping for the forthcoming Sallah celebration.
The women, identified as Khadija and Rasheedat, who were married to two brothers, Nura Garba Khalil and Adamu Garba Khalil reportedly died in a car accident that occurred in Kano.
According to reports, the driver of the car was said to have lost control of the vehicle and hit a street light pole after a car veered off the track to their path.
Speaking to Daily Trust, Nura said the two women met their death when a car veered towards their path, and in an attempt to maneuver, they ended up hitting a street light.
He said;
“I was not at the spot where the accident happened but I was told that a driver almost hit their car. So, you know, as a woman, she tried moving away then the car veered off the road and hit a pole.
“They went to the market to get Sallah Stuff for the families.
“I’m terrified. I can only pray to Allah to forgive them and I will try to be patient. We may have quarreled with my wife but we used to resolve all issues without involving anyone including our parents.”
