A former Deputy Inspector General of Police, Senator for Niger North, Nuhu Aliyu, has died.
The deceased who was also a former senator representing Niger North was one-time senate chairman on Security.
He died on Wednesday in Kaduna following a protracted illness.
A family source who pleaded for anonymity said the deceased has been battling with health issues in recent times.
“Today the will of Allah has prevailed upon his soul. May Allah forgive his shortcomings.”
Reacting to the news, the Niger State government described the late DIG Nuhu Aliyu as a great man of courage who was dedicated to Nigeria.
A statement by Alhaji Ahmed Ibrahim Matane, the Secretary to Niger State Government, said the state has lost a man of immeasurable value, adding that his advice would be greatly missed.
The statement read in part, “The patriotic tendencies and excellent handling of legislative duties concerning the welfare of people and the nation demonstrated by Senator Nuhu Aliyu were worthy of emulation.
“But we must take solace in the fact that from God we all come and to Him we shall all return.
‘”Nobody shall live longer than the time appointed by Almighty God.”
