Fintiri said the death of the illustrious sons of the state was a moment of shock and sadness for him and the people of the state.

He said, "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished anti-corruption crusader and a much-loved police officer, Ibrahim Lamorde. I also mourn the demise of Musa Abdulmalik, an accomplished legislator.

"I know their loss will be deeply felt throughout the state and by countless people around the country," Fintiri said.

The governor attended the burial of the lawmaker in Ganye yesterday while the body of Lamorde was being expected in the country.
