President Muhammadu Buhari has voiced sadness and grief at the news of the death of Assistant Commissioner of Police Abdulahi Ibrahim on Friday, in a car accident.

ACP Ibrahim died with his wife while his children who were travelling with him to Onitsha, his post, are responding to treatment.

President Buhari, in a statement issued Friday by his media aide Garba Shehu, condoled with the Government and people of Bauchi State, the Inspector-General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force on the loss of a “highly dependable” officer at a time that the nation looked up to such dedicated personnel.

“The President, who recalled his tour of duty as Commander MOPOL 24 in the State House, between 2016 and 2019 where he was entrusted with the delicate responsibility of ensuring the safety of the President and his motorcade, said: “ACP Ibrahim was a highly dedicated officer, responsible and extremely reliable.

“He undertook his job most professionally. He knew what was expected of him and carried it out to the letter.”

He prayed that God Almighty will comfort family, friends and colleagues who mourn, grant the children quick recovery and repose the souls of the departed. (Daily Trust)
