“The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadiq Abubakar, on Wednesday sent a delegation to the state to commiserate with the government and the people of Sokoto.

“Led by Air Vice Marshal Charles Ohwo, the NAF team met the Governor in Sokoto to express their heartfelt sympathy to him and the people of Sokoto state.

“This is over the tragedy at Mabera quarters in Sokoto South Local Government Area of the state capital late Sunday,” he said.
