According to The Elites Ng, Fatima Bello Dangote, who was also Dangote’s niece, died on Friday, October 2, in a private hospital in the United Kingdom, after a 2-year battle with brain cancer.
Fatima was the daughter of Alhaji Bello Dangote, the billionaire’s younger brother who died in the ill-fated plane crash alongside Ibrahim Abacha in 1996.
Dangote, who acted as her foster father after her father’s death, single-handedly brought her up and trained her through schools.
She was buried in London last week according to Islamic rites.
May her soul rest in peace.
