“We received with deep shock the news of the demise of the Chairman, Kaduna State Handball Association, Malam Abubakar Ahmed.

“It is saddening and a huge loss not just to his family, employers and immediate friends, but for the sports family not just in Kaduna State, but the entire Nigeria,” it said.

SWAN said that since he came on board as Chairman of Kaduna Handball Association, a lot of positive changes were witnessed.

“He has made a lot of sacrifices to the sports community. He would be greatly missed,” it said.

SWAN extended condolences to his wife, children, brothers, sisters, and mother, who he left behind.

“He left behind his mother, wife and children brothers and sisters. May Almighty Allah give the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss, forgive his trespasses, grant him eternal rest and, make Jannatul firdaus his final place of abode. Ameen.”
