The remains of the Police orderly of Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state, Inspector Mohammed Azare has been committed to mother earth amidst tears at the Gwange Grave yard Maiduguri.

Inspector Mohammed Azare was said to have collapsed at the Government House Maiduguri few hours after returning from Abuja with the governor’s entourage Monday night at about 7.30pm.

It was gathered that the late Inspector Azare who served 26 years in the Police was a jovial gentle man who never got angry with anybody collapsed on Monday.

The deceased was said to have been rushed to the Mamman Shuwa Ultra Modern General Hospital, popularly known as Nursing Home located few kilometers away from the Government House but after some minutes passed away.

It will be recalled that Governor Shettima had been away from the state on official engagement for almost a week and returned together with the deceased who was sighted by people hale and hearty at the Maiduguri International Airport carrying one of the hand bags of the governor, shortly before his untimely death.

However, at the time of filing this report, no official statement had been issued on the sudden death of the Police Inspector, but medical reports indicated that Mohammed Azare died as a result of cardiac arrest/heart attack.
