Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
I announce with deep sorrow the death of Alhaji Sani Maikasuwa Lere, a former President of the Lere Development Association (LDA) and currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the Association.
Indeed, we have suffered a great loss. He was a good, hardworking, dedicated, and courageous man who contributed greatly to the development and progress of our community.
On behalf of his family and the entire Lere Emirate Council, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, relatives, friends, and the entire Lere community.
May Allah forgive his shortcomings, have mercy upon him, grant him eternal rest, and admit him into Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen. 🤲
