19-year-old Rahma Haruna, who spent all her life in a plastic bowl has died on Sunday, Dec. 25th.
Rahma’s story went viral earlier this year when freelance photojournalist Sani Maikatanga shared pictures of physically challenged girl carried by her 10-year-old brother in bowl, and LIB reported the story. See here

Her case drew sympathy and attracted a lot of donations in cash, cloth, foodstuff, from individuals and Kano State government.
A family member said Rahma suddenly died after a brief illness. Confirming the sad news hours ago, Sani Maikatanga posted her photo on Instagram and wrote:
"Rahma Haruna a 19 years old girl has pass away on Sunday 25th of December 2016 ... may Almighty grant her Jannatul Firdausi ... ameen"Born in Lahadin Makole village in Kano, when Rahma was six months, her arms and legs stopped developing.
"She started with a fever and that was it. Then stomach pains. Then her body parts like hands and legs. She cannot use any if the ache strikes."For much of her life, Rahma's family would carry her in her bowl, with her brother Fahad taking her into Kano each day to beg for alms. Later, a journalist Ibrahim Jirgi, gave the family a wheelchair.
"I want to start a business. A store and anything people buy. That is what I want" she said.May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

It might be something her mother was eating while she was pregnant. Hospitals in the North should learn to teach pregnant mothers what to eat when pregnant. You dont just eat anything you like when pregnant, otherwise the baby will not form well. This is from a doctors point of view. RIP

Why do you people keep responding to Freeborn? He passes all those negative comments on purpose so that he will attract traffick. He is a silly jobless attention seeker. Dont dignify him by responding to him no matter how painful what he says is. Just ignore him. When he sees that nobody takes him serious anymore, he will look stupid and stop
Honestly FREEBORN is just a disaster waiting to happen. He doesnt have proper home training, i wonder why his mother did not flush him out as menstruation.
You are right. He is a moron and should be ignored.
God rest her soul, poor thing, I pray she goes straight to heaven or come back to earth in another life with a complete and beautiful body

Linda use your discretion to permanently prevent freeborn's comments, he is a vile toxic human suffering from depression. This young beautiful girl lived a better life than you idiotic creature because she had a soul.
Funny enuf I don't even bother reading this guy's comment wen I see it, he and this girl that write in igbo, it's quite irritating I just pass and don't even bother reading. Let learn to ignore their comments
Everyone should ignore this being. I have noticed that we all try to which delights me. Let us all try harder he is not worth it
At livingstone chibuike, did you just type 'k' like dx is some usual story like that of the kardasians. No,someone just died, a girl with a beautiful soul who couldn't explore this life as she could have loved to, I followed the story, I was touched by her story and I began to appreciate the little things life gave me, like walking, sitting and a gift of every day. It not necessary you comment on every post, instead of typing #k, Just pass next time.
May her soul rest in peace.
And what should hospitals in america teach mothers with autistic kids? Is it something they drank?
Let's not talk dam crazy OK her illness wasn't because her mom ate something gezzzzzzz these type of illnesses are in the states on a daily basis! Maybe if she was in the the states,they could've helped her more! Rest in paradise honey
RIP...
May she R.I.P.
Rip to her. Condolences to thd family
Spiritual wickedness in high places.
