President Muhammadu Buhari has joined other great Nigerians to mourn with former Inspector General of Police and Chairman, Police Service Commission, Alhaji Musiliu Smith over the demise of his wife, Ariat.
The President urged the former police boss, his family, relations and friends, to take heart at the passage of a dutiful wife and mother, trusting that she has returned to her Maker, after a worthy life.
“As human beings, it will naturally be painful. But our trust in Almighty Allah is unshaken, and it is from Him we come, and to Him we return. Please be comforted,” President Buhari said in a statement from the office of his spokesman, Femi Adesina.
Mrs Ariat Smith passed away on Friday, aged 69, and has been buried according to Muslim rites.
