Ex-Reps’ chief whip loses daughter, grandson, daughter-in-law

The family of former Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ishaka Bawa, has been thrown into mourning following a tragic road accident that claimed the lives of three of his close relatives—his daughter, grandson, and daughter-in-law.

The fatal accident occurred last Thursday, though specific details about the location and circumstances remain undisclosed at the time of filing this report.

The tragic loss drew condolences from across the country, including a visit from former President Goodluck Jonathan, who personally expressed his sympathies to the grieving family.

In a message shared via his verified Facebook page on Saturday, Jonathan wrote:”This morning, I paid a condolence visit to my friend and brother, Hon. Ishaka Bawa, former Chief Whip of the House Representatives who lost his daughter, grand son and a daughter-in-law in a horrifying road accident, last Thursday.

I pray for God to comfort Hon. Bawa and his family at this difficult moment and grant the souls of the departed eternal rest.”
