Master Warrant Officer, Sa’idu Afaka, the official driver of
President Muhammadu Buhari is dead.
He died at the State House Clinic, Abuja on Tuesday after a
prolonged illness, according to a statement by presidential spokesman Garba
Shehu.
From London, President Buhari has sent heartfelt condolences
to Afaka’s family.
Buhari also commiserated with the Government and people of
Kaduna State.
He described Afaka as an honest, capable and reliable person
who handled his job with utmost care and responsibility.
Buhari recalled Afaka’s honesty in 2016, when while on
pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, he picked up a bag containing a large amount of
foreign currencies.
Afaka 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”, added the statement.
