The Kano State Commissioner for Works, Engr. Muazu Magaji, who celebrated the death of Abba Kyari, late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, who died from complications of coronavirus, has been tested positive of same dangerous disease.
A media source on Thursday said that Muazu Magaji, who surprisingly was the only known Northerner in such unfortunate act, has been moved into isolation centre.
The information was also said to have come from the former commissioner personal announcement via his verified Facebook page, according to the report.
It will be recalled that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had on April 18th sacked Muaz Magaji for making indecent comments over the death of late Abba Kyari, Chief of staff to the President.
The state commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba in a statement announcing the sack of Engr. Magaji, had said the commissioner was removed following his “unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.”
Muhammad Garba, a former President of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) said in the statement that, “as a public servant, the commissioner ought to respect the profanity of the office by refraining from any act capable of rendering the office to disrepute.”
The statement had stressed that “the action of a public servant, personal or otherwise reflects back on the government and therefore, the Ganduje administration would not tolerate people in official capacities engaging in a personal vendetta or otherwise.”
