President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan expressed shock at the news of the death of the mother of Mohammed Dikko Abubakar, the Acting Inspector General of Police, Hajiya Aisha B. Abubakar, in a Cairo, Egypt hospital on Wednesday, after a brief illness.
The President, who described the late Hajiya Aisha Abubakar as a devout Muslim, commended her commitment to the welfare and needs of the less-privileged in her community.
As the remains of late Hajiya Aisha Abubakar will be interred on Thursday in Gusau, Zamfara State according to Islamic rites, President Jonathan commiserated with the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed D. Abubakar and other family members, and prayed Almighty God to grant the soul of their late mother eternal repose.
