After three years of
struggling with diabetes, one of President Buhari’s bodyguards, Warrant Officer
Lawal Mato, on Tuesday passed away.
In a statement released by
Presidential aide, Femi Adesina, President Buhari described the officer, who
had been working with him for many years before he won the 2015 elections, as “very
thorough, trustworthy and dependable soldier who carried out his duty with
diligence and focus.’’
The President prayed that
Allah will ease his passage to paradise and grant his family, government and
people of Jigawa State, the fortitude to bear the loss.
The deceased was part of a
team that former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua restored to President Buhari as
personal security and he had been off full duty for three years, treating
diabetes.
