The beauty queen confirmed the heartbreaking incident in an emotional Facebook post shared on Thursday June 11, 2026, leaving friends, supporters and social media users devastated.
According to Dikko, she and her fiance had already finalized preparations and made bookings for their wedding, which was scheduled to take place on December 27, 2026.
However, their dreams of spending a lifetime together were abruptly shattered by the tragic attack.
Expressing the grief, Dikko revealed that she had kept a cherished photograph of her fiance, intending to share it as their wedding day drew closer.
“RIP my hero. I kept this photo to post it when it close to wedding date”, she wrote.
The beauty queen disclosed that significant arrangements had already been made for their forthcoming nuptials before the tragic loss.

Her emotional words have since sparked an outpouring of sympathy from online users, many of whom flooded the comment section with condolence messages and prayers for strength during the difficult period.
