“My late husband, Professor Aliyu Mani, woke up early in the morning on that fateful day as his fate demanded, and it was about 5:15am when I bade him goodbye. He took his car key and drove to the JS Mosque to join congregational prayers, which is a 5-minute walk, the bereaved wife said in an interview she granted Daily Trust.
“Usually, whenever he’s going out, I always say “May God bring you back safely”. And I did say so, before saying goodbye, and he responded by saying “Ameen”. And that’s how he left and never came back alive.”
