The Emir of Jiwa in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Alhaji Idris Musa, has lost his mother, Hajiya Ramatu Ibrahim.

One of the title holders in the emirate, Malam Jibrin Yakubu Adam, the Sarkin Malamai of Jiwa, told Abuja Metro that the woman, aged 98, died on Sunday around 9am.

He said she was admitted in an Abuja hospital where she spent about a week but discharged two days before she died.

Mai-Babban Daki, as she was fondly addressed, left behind four children and more than 30 grandchildren.

She was buried Sunday afternoon.
