SHARE

Ambassador Zakari Ibrahim, a former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and a distinguished Nigerian diplomat, has passed away at the age of 81.

Ibrahim died in the early hours of Sunday, although the exact cause of death has not been disclosed.

A native of Katsina State and holder of the traditional title Talban Katsina, Ambassador Ibrahim was a prominent figure in Nigeria’s intelligence and diplomatic circles.

He served as the Director-General of the NIA from 1993 to 1998 and was also Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the early 1990s. In 2011, he was appointed by then-President Goodluck Jonathan to coordinate the country’s national anti-terrorism efforts.

In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kaula Mohamed, Governor Radda said, “The passing of Ambassador Zakari Ibrahim represents an irreparable loss not only to Katsina State but to Nigeria as a whole. His remarkable contributions to national security and diplomacy have left an indelible mark on our nation’s history.”

Governor Radda extended his heartfelt condolences to Ibrahim’s family, the Katsina Emirate Council, and the people of Katsina State. He also prayed for the deceased’s soul to rest in Al-jannatul Fridaus and for strength for his family to bear the loss.
