Borno State Commissioner for Environment, Waziri Imam is dead

The Borno State Commissioner for
Environment, Waziri Imam, is dead.
Officials and family sources said he
died on Wednesday at the University
of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital after a
brief illness.
The deceased was the younger brother
of Kashim Imam, a two-time
gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, who is now a
member of the ruling All Progressive
Congress, APC.
The Borno State government has not
issued an official statement to that
effect.
But sources within the state protocol
unit said Governor Shettima, who last
week relocated his office to Bama,
might cut short his engagement to
attend the burial today.
On Wednesday morning, Friends and
family members were seen trooping to
the home of the deceased politician
behind the Maiduguri Government
House.
Late Mr. Imam is the sixth member of
the Borno State Executive Council to
die while serving as either
commissioner, head of service or
deputy governor from 2003 to date.
