She urged the bereaved family and the people of Owe land to take solace in the fact that Hajia Rekiya lived a fulfilled and impactful life.
“It is my fervent prayer that Allah grants Mama London mercy, forgives her shortcomings, and admits her into Aljanah Firdaus.
May her legacy continue to live on in the hearts of our people, and may we find strength in the love and memories we shared with her,” she added.
