The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Defence and Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti Corruption, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, has described the death of the pioneer Military Governor of the defunct North-Western State, retired Police Commissioner, Alhaji Usman Faruk, as a colossal loss to Nigeria.
He said the demise of the elder statesman, core Nationalist and an astute Professional Cop has robbed the country of a Colossus, whose wisdom and wealth of experience would greatly be missed.
According to a statement signed by the special assistant on media and publicity to the immediate past governor of Sokoto State, Bashir Rabe Mani, Wamakko said his death has created a very wide vacuum which will be too difficult to fill and we will forever mourn and remember him.
