The Customs boss reportedly lost consciousness and was rushed to the Nigerian Airforce Hospital, Kano where he was pronounced dead at 8:20pm yesterday.
In a statement on Tuesday, AA Maiwada of the NCS Public Relations Unit, said, “He was in transit on an official assignment when he suddenly took ill upon arrival at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport and lost consciousness.
