President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Major General Abdullahi Adangba Mohammed (rtd), a former Chief of Staff to Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
The condolence message was contained in a statement released on Wednesday, by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
General Mohammed, who died at 86, was praised by President Tinubu as a disciplined, loyal, and patriotic officer who left indelible marks on Nigeria’s security architecture.
