“On Monday, my mother asked me to call Kamal around 5 p.m., and he said he was already in a vehicle heading to Kano. My mother then began to feel something. Later, someone called and asked if I had anyone traveling from Maiduguri to Kano, and I said yes. At that point, the caller informed me of what had happened to me.”
Usman said Kamal’s death had upset his family and that he would be greatly missed. Kamal is one of the most pleasant people on the planet.
“He is constantly joking and playing with others. “Everyone will miss him,” he concluded.
