UNC alderman’s husband dies

THE 60-year-old husband of a UNC alderman who received death threats prior to her swearing-in, died from a massive heart attack during a game of cards at a Princes Town recreational club on Sunday afternoon.

According to reports, Fyzool Fakira was playing all fours with friends when he is said to have suffered a heart attack. The report said efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. The retired insurance agent is reported to have suffered a stroke ten years ago and has a history of heart disease. His wife Zaniffa made headlines last week Monday prior to her election as a UNC alderman in the Princes Town Regional Corporation, when a shot was fired at her home, shattering a glass door. Zaniffa is also reported to have received a threatening letter the week before her election and a bullet casing was found wrapped in paper within the same envelope. While Zaniffa did not publicly comment on the threats, Fyzool claimed the attacks were politically motivated because the family had no enemies and such threats never occurred before. The UNC has publicly condemned the incident. The Fakiras have three children.
