One of the sons of the late Maj Gen Rabe Abubakar (retd), Isyaka Rabe, has said his father had no history of diabetes or high blood pressure, contrary to claims attributed to the Katsina State Government.
In an interview with Deutsche Welle on Sunday, Isyaka said reports suggesting that his father died of diabetes were inaccurate.
He also said some people believed the late general may have died from a snake bite, based on a video reportedly released by kidnappers.
However, he said only God knows the actual cause of his father’s death.
“I truly don’t believe it was diabetes. In our view, it was a heart attack. If you look at it, his legs were restrained. Moreover, some people said that he was walking, and he didn’t die, so God knows, since only God is the knower,” he said.
