Two women have tragically lost their lives in Gezawa Local Government Area of Kano State after reportedly falling into a puddle while attempting to wash their bodies after work at a zobo processing factory.

The incident which occurred on Monday evening, was confirmed in a press release issued on Tuesday by the Kano State Fire Service Public Relations Officer, Assistant Chief Fire Officer Saminu Yusif Abdullahi.

According to the statement, the fire service received an emergency call at about 11:15 a.m. on Tuesday from the commander of a local vigilante group in Gezawa, who reported that the women had entered the puddle with the intention of washing their bodies after closing from work.

“According to their relatives, they are workers in a zobo processing company and entered the water with the intention of washing their bodies after closing from duty, which resulted in the loss of their lives,” the statement said.

Although a search for the victims began on Monday evening, their bodies were only recovered on Tuesday morning. They were found unconscious and handed over to Officer Musa Garba of the Gezawa Police Division.

The fire service did not release the names of the deceased, and further details surrounding the circumstances of the incident remain unclear.

The founder of the defunct Diamond Bank Plc, Pascal Gabriel Dozie, has died at the age of 85.

According to Business Day, Dozie passed away in the early hours of Tuesday, April 8, 2025.

His death came just a day before his 86th birthday, following a battle with an age-related illness.

Dozie was best known as the founder of Diamond Bank, one of Nigeria’s most innovative financial institutions before its merger with Access Bank.

He served as the bank’s chairman before handing over leadership to his son, Uzoma Dozie.

Dozie is survived by his wife Chinyere Dozie, and five children among other relatives.
