Retired Major General Rabe Abubakar’s son, Isyaka, has imputed being economical with the truth in respect of the context of his father’s death to Katsina State Government.
“The retired General died a natural death from complications of diabetes and hypertension,” the Katsina State government had said in a statement its Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Nasiru Mu’azu issued.
Speaking with Deutsche Welle Hausa service, Isyaka faulted the government’s claim saying his father had no history of diabetes and hypertension.
“I truly don’t believe it was diabetes. In our view, it was a heart attack. If you look at it, his legs were restrained. Moreover, some people said that he was walking, and he didn’t die, so God knows,” the distraught General’s son said.
He however added that the probable cause of his father’s death apart from heart attack was snakebite citing a viral video of the deceased in the kidnappers’ den.
