A newly recruited Nigerian Army trainee, Ibrahim Nazifi, has died during training at the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria.
The deceased was among the first batch of successful candidates from Gombe State undergoing training under the Nigerian Army Regular Recruit Intake (NA RRI 90).
In a statement on his death, the Senior Special Assistant to
Governor Inuwa Yahaya on Security Matters and Intergovernmental Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Danbayo, said the recruit died after a brief illness at the training facility.
Danbayo described Nazifi as a patriotic Nigerian who died in the line of duty saying his loss was discomforting to his family and the people of the state in general.
“It is with deep sorrow, humility and total submission to the will of Almighty Allah that I announce the passing of Ibrahim Nazifi, one of our promising recruits undergoing training at the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria,” the statement read in part.
