Sani Dangwaggo, security aide to the Senator representing Sokoto North Senatorial District, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, is dead.
Naija News reports that the retired police officer, also known as Sani Jaman, died at the age of 58.
Dangwaggo died on Saturday at a private hospital in Abuja after a short illness. He retired from the Nigeria Police Force in early 2018 with the rank of Inspector after many years of service.
He was known among colleagues and associates for his discipline, loyalty and strong commitment to duty.
Senator Wamakko reacted to the news with deep shock through a statement issued by his media aide, Bashar Abubakar.
The senator described the late officer as a dependable and hardworking member of his security team who carried out his duties with honesty and respect for his profession.
He also prayed for Allah to forgive the deceased and asked God to give strength and comfort to the family during the period of mourning.
“He is one of the most reliable security personnel I have ever worked with. He was honest, and he loved and respected his job,” the Senator said.
Sani Dangwaggo is survived by two wives, seven children and his aged mother, Hajiya Safiya.
Family members said arrangements for his funeral prayer would be announced later in line with Islamic traditions.
