Adoptive daughter of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Fatima Bello Dangote, has died after a 2-year battle with brain cancer.

According to reports, Fatima died on the 2nd of October, at a private hospital in the United Kingdom where she was being treated.

Pulse gathered that the deceased was the daughter of Dangote's younger brother, Alhaji Bello Dangote, who died in 1996 alongside the son of late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, Ibrahim Abacha, in a plane crash on the 17th of January 1996.
