Former Kebbi State Deputy Governor Ibrahim Aliyu has died following a prolonged illness, according to multiple reports. Both outlets say the former deputy governor, described as a respected elder and public servant from Yauri Local Government Area, passed away on Friday. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Aliyu dies at a hospital in Sokoto, while Legit.ng notes his death and references his long record of public service and humility in Kebbi. The reports add that his passing prompts tributes and condolences from political leaders and residents who recognize him for years of service. No outlet provides specific medical details about the illness or the circumstances leading to his death beyond stating that he had been unwell for some time. The news coverage is consistent on his identity, role as former deputy governor of Kebbi State, the timing of his death, and the location in Sokoto, while differing mainly in the extent of biographical and tribute-related context.
