Mr. Uzaifa Halilu Modachi, one of the 40 students evacuated from war-torn Ukraine has died, barely two weeks while in Nigeria
Late Modachi, son of a serving member of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, Honourable Habibu Haliru Modachi, was a third year student in Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Ukraine, when Russian troops invaded the country.
According to the father, he was in Ukraine for three years without setting foot in Nigeria only to die two weeks after his return.
Sokoto State Government had, through the Nigerian Embassy in Ukraine, arranged for the safe evacuation of its students, including Huzaifa when the war broke out in Ukraine
Late Uzaifa has since been buried in Sokoto according to Islamic rites.
