A member-elect for the Chibok constituency in Borno State House of Assembly, Nuhu Clark, has died.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the deceased died in India on Monday while undergoing treatment.
The State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Babakura Abbajatau, disclosed this to NAN in Maiduguri on Wednesday.
Abbajatau said that the state government would soon make an official statement after speaking with the deceased’s family.
Borno State Deputy Governor, Umar Kadafur, described the death as a massive loss to his immediate family, the people of Southern Borno and the state at large.
He commiserated with the immediate family of the late politician and prayed to the Almighty God to give the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
NAN reports that Clark was a former Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation before resigning on April 25, 2022, to contest the Chibok State Constituency election on the platform of APC.
