The young lady who was said to have been returning
to school after traveling to rejoice with the family on the safe return of
the
mother from the holy land for this year’s pilgrimage where hundreds were
confirmed dead from various disasters.
The Nation reports
that the father, MR Lateef Lamina, a senior sales executive officer with New
Telegraph newspaper, could not hold back tears while narrating his last moments
with his late daughter whom he referred to as his ‘hope’.
“ Balikisu, my brilliant, promising and
talented daughter who had passion for broadcasting is gone. The mother
travelled to Mecca and came back successfully. When she came back, we were all
happy that she survived the misfortune that happened during the
pilgrimage. She (my late daughter) decided to come home to see her. She
was given about four weeks to be away from her service post.
“Within two weeks
of her stay with us, they started calling to say that her attention was
urgently needed. She was serving at Rima Television in Sokoto and, at the same
time, a top member of the press crew. When the call was coming, I started
having premonition that something was about to happen. I kept praying for God
to be in control. Her elder sister, Kadijat was also serving in Kebbi State.
