Suleiman Aliyu Garga, an aide to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State, has died days after complaining about a severe toothache.
TheNewsGuru reports that Garga, who served as the Special Assistant on Content Creation, had taken to his verified Facebook on Thursday, July 17, to call for prayers as he warns others about the pain of toothache.
“You should pray to God to save you from toothache even if it is for 1 minute Alaji. Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs,” he wrote.
After his post, he was admitted to Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital for surgery related to the tooth issue. However, complications arose during surgery which led to his demise on Saturday, July 19, less than a day after the operation.
His burial took place the following morning, Sunday, July 20, at the Yolde Pate Muslim Cemetery in Yola.
The funeral was conducted according to Islamic rites after the Sallah Raka’at prayers at Modibbo Zailani Mosque in Yola Town.
