Sadly, Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, has reportedly lost his mother, Kakah Hajja, on Tuesday.
Reports from SaharaReporters suggest that Hajja passed away after a brief illness at her home in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
An unnamed source confirmed her death, stating, “Yes I can confirm to you that she’s dead. She passed away this evening and will be buried tomorrow morning by 8am. May her soul rest in peace.”
Neither the Nigerian Army nor Borno State government has officially confirmed the death of Kakah Hajia.
Buratai is currently in his native Borno State overseeing Nigeria Military’s efforts to combat Boko Haram jihadists.
