The official driver to President Muhammadu Buhari, MWO Sa’idu Afaka is dead.
Afaka died on Tuesday at the State House Clinic in Abuja, after a prolonged illness.
President Buhari, in a statement by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu commiserated with the family of Afaka.
President Buhari, who also commiserates with the Government and people of Kaduna State, described the late Afaka as an honest, capable and reliable person who handled his job with utmost care and responsibility.
The President recalls that in 2016 the soldier, while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, picked up a bag containing a large amount of foreign currencies and turned it over to the National Hajj Commission, an action which earned him praises from the Saudi and Nigerian authorities.
President Buhari prays Almighty Allah to ‘‘bless the soul of the departed with an elevated place in heavens,’’ committing the family and friends to divine comfort and patience.
