The Independent National Electoral Commission has announced the death of its Resident Electoral Commissioner for Taraba State, Alhaji Baba Yusuf.
A statement by Secretary to the Commission, Rose Oriarian-Anthony, on Sunday in Abuja said Yusuf died on Saturday at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Borno.
Oriarian-Anthony described the death as a great loss to the commission, adding that Yusuf would be buried on Sunday in Maiduguri.
She said the Commission would be represented at the funeral by a delegation of both the National and Resident Electoral Commissioners.
