Announcing the incident, El-Rufai in a statement posted on his Facebook page said his son, Hamza(pictuerd) died today in an auto crash in Abuja.
“From Allah, we came and to Him we shall return. Please join our family in praying for the repose of the soul of my son, Hamza El-Rufai who died this morning in a motor accident in Abuja,” he wrote.
