Daily Trust gathered that the accident happened along Kaduna-Zaria highway on Saturday evening.

“The accident occurred along the Kaduna-Zaria highway this evening. He was taken to an undisclosed hospital where he was declared dead. His father was at the hospital; his corpse has been conveyed home for burial arrangements.

Makarfi, a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), could not be reached for comments as of the time of filing this report.

A civil engineer by training, Faisal attended Kaduna International School and then proceeded to Adesoye College, Offa, Kwara State for his secondary education. He attended the University of Greenwich, London, for undergraduate and master’s degree and enrolled for PhD at the same institution.

This is the second tragic incident to befall the family of a top Nigerian this weekend.

On Friday, Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), lost Fatima, his 23-year-old daughter.



She died in Abuja after a brief illness, and was buried in accordance with Islamic rites.

Did his father do a good job building and maintaining that same road(and all the other roads in the state) when he was governor? Did he raise alarm about the state of development under his successors? Or did he think that simply sitting back and guzzling up the people's money was what it meant to be a governor in the state?

Other people's children die daily on that same road but politicians pretend it should not be their business when their own die, Nigerians come out from everywhere to pretend that should not be expected.

He's just part of the statistics of people that die daily by road accident, he's no different from the common man.....death is a leveller

If someone had forecasted his death to his father, he would have ensured good facilities everywhere, but they prefer other means,thinking they are hurting the common man
RIP Markafi jnr

This week alone kids of 3 Northern first class citizens has died.

RIP to the dead.

God will continue to inflict pain on all those who loooted the country's common wealth.

RIP to the dead. God will continue to inflict pain on all those who loooted the country's common wealth.

Which God? Snap out of this delusion for Pete's sake! The ones inflicted with the most pain in that country are the children of the poor including the many orphans out there. Are you telling us that this God holds them the most responsible for all the looting in the country?

Unless you have empirical evidence for such claims, make una no dey drag the mention of God into any of these conversations.

Rip... with d convoys and top guns bodyguards, na accident still take am.

Oh Lord, don't let me die a foolish death

Allahuma igfirllahu warhamu. Condolences to the familyl

We all reap what we planted. May God shows all mercy.

Even if there is good road overspending too can still cause accident so don't judge the father for bad leadership abeg.

Las Las d piking don die already

Painful and Pathetic but life goes on

Which God again? The same God that is watching as millions of Nigerians are suffering with hunger, sickness, and lack? As it is, none of the over 40 Nigerian deities are involved or concerned about what is happening in Nigeria so we need to face this problem head-on instead of distracting ourselves every chance we get from the reality of things.

Make we stop to dey use the mention of God cover our faces. The chances are quite high that corruption is at the root of most of the deaths in Nigeria every day. This boy's case is no different from that of all of the others if we are really sincere with ourselves. Only, the likelihood that someone will be penalized for his death is higher than in the deaths of all the other thousands before his and after his.

Wetin be this? Do you know how many deaths happen on Nigerian roads as a result of bad infrastructure? And do you know how many of those deaths go uninvestigated? Abegi! Make we no dey deviate in attempts to cover up reality of life and living even in Kaduna state, please!

Rip to him

Loosing a relative is something really painful. We are still nursing personal loss here but we go bounce as usual

May his soul rest in peace.
