Kebbi Assembly Speaker: Muhammad Usman Zuru Dies in Egypt

By: Abudu Olalekan

A quiet end came late Monday for Muhammad Usman Zuru, head of Kebbi’s state lawmakers. Treatment in Egypt did not help, after a sudden health struggle sent him there weeks ago. Reports confirm his passing inside a Cairo medical center, though details about what made him sick remain hidden.

Word came from people near the Kebbe State Government that he had died, but what happened isn’t known yet. Right up to the end, he held the seat for Zuru Constituency, standing out among lawmakers there.

A sudden hush fell across the office when Idris Zuru heard the report. The passing of Speaker Muhammad Usman Zuru hit hard, like a gust nobody saw coming. Not only does Kebbi mourn, but so do many beyond its borders. Details remain scattered, still being gathered bit by bit. As things stand, answers will come later – once the family has been spoken to. Official word on what happens next waits on those talks.

Details about the funeral plans should come out soon, shared by officials or relatives. Days ahead might bring more updates on what happens next.
