Buhari loses nephew Ibrahim Dauda

President Muhammadu Buhari has lost his nephew, Alhaji Ibrahim Dauda. Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, said in a statement issued yesterday that Ibrahim Dauda died in Daura, Katsina State, following a prolonged illness.

President Buhari, in a condolence message, said his death had robbed the family and the Daura community of one of its finest gentlemen.

“I am deeply touched and devastated by the passing of yet another family member, a man who had demonstrated amazing kindness and honesty in all his dealings,” the President said.

He prayed God to forgive the soul of the deceased and reward his great and noble deeds with paradise.

The deceased was survived by a number of children, including Dauda Ibrahim, a Chief Administrative Officer in State House, Abuja.
