“Even then, there was hardly any month she was not in Ibadan for one Islamic programme  or the other.

Zainab Dokubo, the first wife of Mujahid Dokubo Asari, is dead.

Alhaji Ishaq Kunle Sanni, chairman Oyo state Muslim community, who confirmed the death in a statement said Zainab was already  a Muslim  years before  she married Dokubo.

He recalled that Zainab, who lived in Ibadan had to relocate to Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa when she was appointed  Secretary  of the Muslims Pilgrims Board.

“Even then, there was hardly any month she was not in Ibadan for one Islamic programme  or the other.

“She was a member  of many Islamic organisations  in Ibadan  including Oluyole Muslim community under the Imamship of Imam Mudashir Bada.

“It is interesting she was coming to her preferred  town  Ibadan when she met her destiny.

“She was  survived  by four children Amirah, Hassan, Hussain and Osama.

“May Allah accept her multifarious and multidimensional  jihad as acts Ibadah and admit her to jannat Firdaous,” Alhaji Sanni said.
