The announcement was signed by Garba Shehu, a former presidential spokesperson, who shared the news with the phrase, “Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” — a Quranic expression meaning “From God we come and to Him we shall return.”
Details surrounding the cause of death are still emerging, and further information is expected in the coming hours.
Prayers have been offered for Allah to grant him Aljannatul Firdaus (the highest level of paradise).
