THE Borno State Commissioner of Finance, Ahmed Ali Ahmed, passed away today at his residence on Damboa Road in Maiduguri, the state capital.
According to sources, concern arose when the commissioner did not wake up at his usual time, leading to his room door being forced open.
The Commissioner of Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, confirmed Ahmed’s death in a statement, announcing that the burial would be held at his residence this evening in accordance with Islamic rites.
Ahmed, who was sworn in on August 10, 2024, previously served as the State Zonal Manager of Zenith Bank in Maiduguri.
Two commissioners and a special adviser have passed away, since Governor Babagana Zulum began his second term in May 2023.
