Category: Nigeria News
The dismissed Emir of Zurmi in Zamfara State, Abubakar Atiku, has died in
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
Atiku died in a private hospital
in Abu Dhabi following a protracted illness.
A family member, Sani
Zurmi, informed The Punch that the remains of the deceased were yet to be
brought to Nigeria for burial.
“His remains are still in Dubai due
to non availability of flight to bring the deceased back home for burial,”
said Zurmi.
The deceased was dethroned along with the Emir of Dansadau, Husaini Umar on April 27, 2021, for allegedly aiding banditry in their respective emirates.
