According to the report, the deceased's son, Hassan Danbaba, confirmed the death to the newspaper, saying she died at a Dubai hospital after a brief illness.

Aishatu's father was the first and only premier of northern Nigeria from 1954 to 1966 when he was killed in a military coup.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that an elder statesman and Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, explained that the late activist, Yinka Odumakin, helped him and the Afenifere group to let Nigerians understand the meaning of restructuring.
It was reported that Pa Adebanjo noted that because of this and his exemplary attitude as a young man made him compromise the Yoruba tradition that the old one must not be physically present in the activities organised for the burial of a younger one.
The Afenifere leader made this known on Thursday, April 22, during the lying-in-state and service of songs organised in honour of the late Afenifere spokesperson held at Police College, Lagos.
He added that he resolved to honour Yinka’s service to Nigeria and not his age, noting that he had witnessed many activists who started like the deceased but fell by the wayside.
