The Zazzau Emirate has described as false the report that Alhaji Umar Shehu Idris, a prince of Zazzau and son of the immediate past Emir, died in an accident.
The Emirate spoke in a statement issued to newsmen on Tuesday by Malam Abdullahi Kwarbai, its Media and Publicity Officer.
It said the late prince died suddenly during an illness and not as a result of an auto crash along the Kaduna-Abuja Road as earlier reported.
