Report: NNPC GMD Baru loses 21-year-old son in Dubai

Tragedy has struck the Maikanti’s family once again Thursday as the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, has lost his son.

It was learnt that the son had died in Dubai, United Arab Emirate (UE), according to an online news portal, Per Second News, on Thursday evening.

Earlier in April, his mother Hajiya Fatima Baru, died in her hometown of Misau in Bauchi State.

Baru’s sister had died weeks ago on the eve of his trip to Houston, Texas for the OTC conference.

Last Year, guests attending his daughter’s wedding died in an accident.

In the latest personal devastation, the GMD must now endure the torment of burying a son, mother and sister within a month.

It’s particularly heartrending because the GMD has been busy with reforms at the NNPC.

The victim’s family and relatives were inconsolable after they were informed about the son’s death.

Sources said the late Baru junior, was humble and soft spoken.

The family is yet to give official statement regarding the loss.
