Summary: Family of late Major General Rabe Abubakar refutes Katsina government’s claims about his cause of death, insisting he died from snake bite, not diabetes or high blood pressure.
The family of the late Major General Rabe Abubakar (rtd) has come out to set the record straight about the circumstances surrounding their father’s death, contradicting the narrative being circulated by the Katsina State Government.
Isyaka Rabe, one of the sons of the deceased military officer, has categorically stated that his father had no medical history of diabetes or high blood pressure as claimed by some government sources. According to the family, their father died from complications arising from a snake bite, not from any chronic illness.
Family Speaks Truth About General’s Death
This clarification comes amid conflicting reports about what actually led to the demise of the respected retired general. While some quarters attributed his death to underlying health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, the family has insisted that these claims are false and misleading.
“Our father did not suffer from diabetes or high blood pressure,” Isyaka Rabe stated firmly. “He died from a snake bite. We want Nigerians to know the truth about what happened.”
A Matter of Public Record
The family’s decision to speak out highlights the importance of accuracy in reporting the deaths of prominent Nigerians. Major General Rabe Abubakar was a respected figure in military circles, and his family believes he deserves to have his story told correctly.
Snake bites remain a serious public health concern in Nigeria, particularly in rural areas where access to immediate medical care can be challenging. The tragedy serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by venomous snakes, even to prominent citizens.
Setting the Record Straight
The Rabe family’s statement raises questions about why conflicting information about the general’s death emerged in the first place. As Nigerians mourn the loss of the retired military officer, his children are determined to ensure that his legacy is not clouded by misinformation.
The family’s insistence on correcting the narrative demonstrates their commitment to preserving their father’s memory with dignity and truth. They have called on the Katsina State Government and all concerned parties to acknowledge the actual cause of death and stop spreading false information about their late father’s health status.
May the soul of Major General Rabe Abubakar (rtd) rest in perfect peace.
