PRESS RELEASE:

MURIC CONDOLES DG DSS, POLICE IG

The Kano State Director of the Department of State Security (DSS), Abdullahi Chiranchi, died two days ago after a brief illness.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) commiserates with the Director General of the DSS, Alhaji Lawal Musa Daura, The Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and the entire DSS Kano formation on the sudden death of Alhaji Chiranchi.

May Allah forgive him and repose his soul in Al-Jannah Firdaus. May Allah in His Infinite Mercy also fill the vacuum left behind by his death and cushion the economic effect on the family.

Similarly, the Cross Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Francis Mobolaji Odesanya, died on January 31, 2017 in far away India where he had gone for treatment. He was 58 years old.    

We express our deepest sympathy to the Inspector General of Police, Alhaji Ibrahim Kpotum Idris and the Governor of Cross Rivers State, Benedict Ayade, on this irreparable loss. May Allah give the family and friends the strength to bear the loss.

In view of the circumstances leading to the death of Abdullahi Chiranchi in particular, MURIC advocates that the Federal and State governments should put less stress on the heads of security agencies. Governments should also provide adequate measures for frequent health checks and facilities for security officers who bear huge responsibilities. Provision should also be made for leave opportunities for top security officers at regular intervals.
