The spate of high profile, sudden deaths that seem to have hallmarked 2021 continued unabated on Thursday as two other prominent Nigerians were reported dead.
In Abuja, the official photographer to the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, Mohammed Yusuf Ovajimo, was reported dead.
The news of his passing was announced by Suleiman Haruna, Director of Information in the Office of the First Lady, on his Facebook page.
There were no details. However, Haruna eulogised Ovajimo.
“Today, we lost Mohammed Yusuf Ovajimo, a professional photographer of the First Lady of Nigeria.
“He is an accomplished professional with loads of skill and great human relations. He will be greatly missed. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” the Facebook post said.
And in Enugu, the coal city of the South East, the State commissioner for transport, Mr. Mathias Ekweremadu, was also reported dead.
It was learnt that the commissioner, younger brother to Nigeria’s longest serving Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, slumped at the Enugu State House of Assembly.
He was rushed to the Niger Foundation Hospital in Enugu where he was confirmed dead.
