President Muhammadu Buhari’s official driver, Sa’idu Afaka is dead. He died at the State House Clinic on Tuesday after a prolonged illness. Disclosing this in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of Afaka.
Read the statement below:
“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.”
