Adamawa State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has commiserated with the Lamido of Adamawa, Dr. Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa, and the entire Musdafa royal family of the Fombina Kingdom, over the passing of their son, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu Musdafa, a former Controller General of the Nigeria Customs Service.

Governor Fintiri described the death of the elder statesman as “shocking,” noting that the late Ahmed Musdafa was a thoroughbred officer whose service to the nation will remain indelible.

While consoling the Lamido, who is the brother of the deceased, the Governor urged the royal family to take solace in the fact that the late Customs boss lived a long and fulfilled life as a dedicated public servant and respected community leader.

“Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. His exemplary service and unwavering commitment to duty will be remembered and cherished by all,” Fintiri said.

He further noted that Alhaji Ahmed Musdafa left behind a legacy of patriotism and selfless service, adding that his worthy children would continue to uphold his values and contributions to the community, Adamawa State, and Nigeria at large.

The Governor prayed to Almighty Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest in Aljannah and to comfort the family in their moment of grief.
