Bar Chairman of the Kaduna Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Barrister Baba Lawal, mourned the death of his 20‑year‑old daughter, Aisha Baba Lawal, who passed away after a brief illness on Thursday evening. A Janazah prayer for Aisha is scheduled for Friday at Sultan Bello Mosque in Unguwan Sarki, Kaduna.
Aisha was a 100‑level Mass Communication student at Kaduna State University. She is survived by her father, the NBA Kaduna Branch Chairman, her mother and several siblings.
In a statement signed by the NBA Kaduna Branch Publicity Secretary, Barrister Sani Shehu Idris, the association said it received the news of Aisha’s death “with profound sadness.” The statement extended “deepest and heartfelt condolences” to Chairman Lawal and his family on behalf of the Executive Committee and all branch members.
The NBA noted that “the loss of a child is one of the most profound pains a parent can endure,” and affirmed its solidarity with the chairman and his family during this difficult period.
Bar Idris added that the association is praying that “Almighty Allah grants them strength, patience and fortitude to bear this immense loss,” and asked that Allah “forgive Aisha’s shortcomings, grant her Al‑Jannatul Firdaus, illuminate and widen her grave, and make her resting place a garden of Paradise.”
The statement concluded with a prayer that Allah comforts the family, rewards them for their love and care, and reunites them with their beloved daughter in Jannatul Firdaus.
