The Zazzau Emirate Council has been thrown into mourning following the sudden passing of a district head in the emirate, Alhaji Rilwan Yahaya Pate, the Sarkin Yakin Zazzau, who collapsed during an event in Zaria, Kaduna State, on Thursday.

Pate, a respected district head and council member, was attending the event alongside the Emir of Zazzau, Mallam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, when he suddenly slumped. He was immediately rushed to Hajiya Gambo Sawaba General Hospital, Kofar Gayan, where he was later pronounced dead.

The remains of the traditional ruler were laid to rest the same evening at Rimin Dodo, in accordance with Islamic rites.

Expressing his condolences, the Emir of Zazzau described Pate as a dedicated and devout leader whose contributions to the emirate would be deeply missed. He prayed for his soul to rest in peace.

Confirming the tragic incident, Abdullahi Aliyu Kwarbai, the Media and Publicity Officer of the Zazzau Emirate Council, issued an official statement mourning the loss.

“It is with great sadness that the Zazzau Emirate Council announces the passing of Sarkin Yakin Zazzau, Alhaji Rilwanu Yahaya Pate, a council member of the Emirate,” the statement read.

Kwarbai further noted that Pate, who also served as the councillor in charge of health-related matters, passed away while attending a program alongside the Emir.
