Faisal Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, the eldest son of former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has tragically passed away following a fatal auto accident.

A close family source, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed the incident, stating that the accident occurred on Saturday evening along the Kaduna-Zaria expressway.
“The accident occurred on the Kaduna-Zaria highway this evening. Faisal was rushed to an undisclosed hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead. His father was present at the hospital, and the body has since been taken home for burial arrangements,” the source disclosed.

Faisal, an engineer by profession, began his educational journey at Kaduna International School before attending Adesoye College in Offa, Kwara State, for his secondary education. He later pursued higher education at the University of Greenwich, London, where he earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees. He had also enrolled for a PhD program at the same institution.
