body will be released by British Medical
Authorities after full investigation into the cause
of her death had been conducted.
According to reports, she had died of what
medical sources linked to Neurological disorder at
her home in London while she was home alone.
The circumstances of her loneliness had
engendered her early death as there was no
assistance for her after she slumped while
reaching for her medication, during a rare attack,
having had an history of neurological disorder
ailment.

candidate of the ACN in the last general election,
Nuhu Ribadu, the running mate to Gen.

election, Pastor Tunde Bakare and former
information minister Dora Akunyili are the latest
to visit the former Minister to convey their
condolence messages.

The chief imam of Abuja Central Mosque, Ustaz
Musa Mohammed, was also in the home of the
former minister during the week leading
mourners in prayers for the late Yasmine.
Her elder brother Sani has described the late
Yasmine as an angel in human form whose
death is a colossal loss to the family. “All I can say
is Inalillahi wa ina illahi rajiun. From Allah we
come and to Him we shall return. It is a coloss
loss. It is unexplainable. The most we can do is
pray for her. Prayers are not enough to bring her
back but it is all we can do. There is no could
have, would have or should have.”
