“S-Fada had attended the state’s APC stakeholders’ meeting as well as the grand reception into the state organised by the party in honour of the visiting Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle who was in the state to meet with party members, associates, friends and relations.

“The deceased, during his lifetime, had held various political positions in the state including Vice Chairman of Zurmi Local Government Area, Director-General of the State Revenue Generation Agency and Special Adviser on Rural Electrification, among others,” Idris added..

“We pray the Almighty Allah to reward his soul with Jannatul Firdaus and give his family the fortitude to bear the loss,” he added.

According to Idris, the late S/Fada was a philanthropist who spent his lifetime in assisting the needy and the less-privileged people.

“May the Almighty Allah reward his soul with the exalted paradise and accept his Shahadat,”Idris explained.
