Gov. Kashim Shettima of Borno has expressed shock over last week’s killing of Alhaji Adamu Ahmadu, the Comptroller of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) in charge of Yobe and Borno.
Ahmadu was killed on Tuesday at his residence in Potiskum, Yobe, by gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members.
Shettima, who was exchanging views with journalists in Maiduguri, described the killing as sad.
The governor condoled with the NCS and family of the late comptroller over the incident.
Shettima said that from his brief encounter with the late comptroller, it was clear that he was a professional gentleman that had a vision to transform the service.
The governor prayed to God to grant his family and the NCS the fortitude to bear the loss.
Ahmadu was killed barely one month after assuming duty as comptroller of the command.?
