The Bishop of Sokoto Catholic dioceses, Dr Mattew Hassan Kukah, on Friday, lost his mother, Mrs Abashen Hauwa Kukah, in Kaduna.
Mrs Kukah died in her home in Kaduna, surrounded by close family members.
Mr Samuel Kukah, brother to Bishop Kukah, who spoke on behalf of the family said that “Mama lived a blessed life and was extremely dedicated to a peaceful living.
‘’Mama was a loving mother who treated us with love and empathy. She was a lover of peace and lived peacefully with all and sundry.
“Her death has definitely created a vacuum.”
The family is yet to agree on the funeral date as they need to converge for a meeting.
Before her death, Mrs Kukah was a dedicated member of the Christian Mothers Association.
She was born in 1934 at Katul village in present day Ikulu chiefdom of Zango kataf local government area of Kaduna State.
