His deputy, Gambo Kwache, who had previously acted as the command’s spokesperson when Usman was receiving medical treatment, confirmed the news. He said he was asleep when he woke up to 14 missed calls and a message informing him of Usman’s passing.
A close friend, Ahmed Manga, also confirmed the death, explaining that Usman’s condition worsened late Saturday night. Efforts were made to take him to the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Jalingo, but he passed away on the way. Doctors at the hospital later confirmed his death.
