Vice President Sambo's Wife Loses Relations to Kano Explosions

Wife of Vice President Namadi Sambo, Amina, is one of the bereaved as a result of the multiple explosions that rocked the Kano Central Mosque Friday last week. Sambo’s wife, who hails from Kano, PUNCH reports, lost an undisclosed number of relations and friends to the incident that claimed about 120 lives.

Touched by her plight, the President’s wife, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Sunday led wives of some top government officials to pay a condolence visit on Mrs. Sambo at her husband’s official residence, Aguda House, inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

A statement by Mrs. Jonathan’s media assistant, Ayo Adewuyi, quoted her as condemning the Kano
blast, describing it as man’s inhumanity to man. The statement also quoted the President’s wife as appealing to the masterminds of the attack to come out and dialogue with the Federal Government.
