How Yobe twins died 48 hours apart


原文原文 / Original TextTwin sisters died forty eight hours apart in Yobe State, Daily Trust gathered. The deceased sisters—Dr. Hadiyah Usman and Dr. Aidah Usman (PharmD), who were 28-years-old, were children of Dr. Hadiza Usman and Dr. Usman Abdullahi.
The mother of the deceased, Professor Hadiza Abdullahi Usman, is the Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre, Nguru, Yobe State, while their father, Professor Usman Abdullahi, is a senior consultant.
According to family sources, one of them, Hadiyah, fell ill due to a sickle cell crisis which she has battled for years, and was admitted to FMC Nguru. She later succumbed to the crisis and passed away on Friday. Funeral prayers were held on the same say at the emir’s palace in Nguru.
Our correspondent gathered that within the same period, her twin sister, Aidah, had a crisis and was receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
One of the family members, who spoke to our correspondent, said it was not unusual as it was a long-standing pattern where the twins took ill simultaneously even when apart at different locations.
“In fact the family was used to it. Anytime one of the twins took ill, the parents knew that the other will fall ill as well,” he said.
He said after Aidah recovered and was discharged from the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, she travelled to Nguru, to join her grieving parents and mourn her sister’s death.
“On arrival, Aidah insisted that she would visit her sister’s grave to pay her respects. Her mother, a medical doctor, was not comfortable with it, but had to give in when she saw that the girl was determined to go to the site”, he said.
