The Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, on Sunday mourned the passing of veteran actor, producer and director Alhaji Usman Baba Pategi, popularly known as Samanja Mazan Fama.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Kaduna State, Muhammad Lawal Shehu, stated this in a release on Sunday, expressing that the governor received the sad news with shock.
According to the statement, the nation was captivated by his talents as an actor in the 1980s.
