President Buhari has lost his Personal Bodyguard, Wo Lawal Mato, who’s been battling with diabetes for three years now.
This is happening few days after the death of Buhari’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari, who died on friday.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the President Muhammadu Buhari’s bodyguards, Warrant Officer Lawal Mato, died on tuesday.
The President 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.’’
President Buhari 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.
WO Mato 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.
