Femi said President Buhari urged the family to take solace in the fact, that Audu lived a worthy and exemplary life.

“Death is an inevitable end that must come to all mortals, and we must keep praying and working to ensure that we live a life that pleases our creator and benefits humanity,” he Buhari said.

He also prayed God to comfort the family of the deceased and grant eternal rest to the soul of Audu.

Femi quoted Gowon as thanking the President for the commiserations.
