The deceased was a Medicine and Surgery final-year student of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS).
Abubakar-Rimi opened a food outlet in the Diplomat area of Sokoto. He died on Wednesday after a brief illness.
The death was confirmed to NAN on Saturday by the Chairman of 21st Century Entrepreneur Hub, Umar Idris.
