The residents of Noto and Murno communities in the Boto area, Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State are in deep grief, following the tragic death of a groom and the elder sister of his bride-to-be just about thirty minutes before the wedding ceremony.
It was gathered that the groom, Abba Musa, and Maryam Sulieman, his would-be sister-in-law died in the accident that occurred while on their way to the ceremony from Murno, a community which lies about 5km away from Boto, thereby throwing both the families and the entire community into deep mourning.
A brother of the groom, Saminu Boto, who spoke with Leadership, described the incident as an unimaginable loss which has thrown everyone into deep shock.
“It’s an unimaginable loss. The entire community is mourning,” he said. The families of the victims are in deep shock, with relatives and friends struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss.”
He said the bride, Raihanatu Suleiman, and the entire family have been drowned in mourning following the tragic accident with the family house which was a centre of preparations, now turned into a centre of tears and wailing.
“The dual tragedy has cast a shadow over the community, with many residents calling it one of the saddest days in recent memory,” Boto said.
It is understood that both deceased were buried following Islamic rites shortly after the accident.
