A Commissioner in Borno State and his lover have been found dead in his guest house located in the 777 Housing Estate in Maiduguri.

The deceased, Mr Ibrahim Garba, who until his death was the Commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (RRR), was found stone dead beside the yet-to-be identified woman.

The lover, who was unconscious, later died at the hospital where she was rushed to for treatment.

The corpses of the lovers, according to reports reaching Persecondnews, have been deposited at the morgue of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital for autopsy.

Meanwhile, the Borno State Government has confirmed the commissioner’s death.

The governor’s spokesman, Isa Gusau, issued a terse statement expressing the state’s shock and grief.

“Governor Babagana Umara Zulum received the news with intense shock and profound grief.

“The Governor mourns alongside the late commissioner’s family, other loved ones, friends, associates, and members of the State Executive Council,” he said.

Gusau also confirmed that the Borno State police command has begun an immediate investigation into Mr Garba’s death, adding that the state Police Commissioner had already visited the house in Maiduguri where Garba was found.

The spokesperson was, however, mum on the yet-to-be-identified woman.
