Borno orders probe into commissioner’s death

The Borno State Police Command has launched an urgent investigation into the sudden death of the State’s Commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement, Ibrahim Idriss Garba.

Garba died, on Saturday morning, October 21 in Maiduguri, according to a statement by Governor Babagana Zulum’s spokesman, Isa Gusau.

The investigation, according to Gusau, in a statement, is at the behest of Governor, Babagana Zulum and the State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Yusuf, who was at the house of the deceased to commiserate with his family.

“Governor Babagana Umara Zulum received the news with intense shock and profound grief,” Gusau said in the statement, adding, “The Governor mourns alongside the late commissioner’s family, other loved ones, friends, associates, and members of the state executive council.”

Late Ibrahim Idriss Garba was the Governor’s Special Adviser on Special Projects before he was elevated and appointed commissioner of RRR, at the commencement of Zulum’s ongoing second term.
