President Bola Tinubu expresses condolences over the death of Nafiu Baba-Ahmed, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN). The Daily Post Nigeria reports that Baba-Ahmed dies in the early hours of Tuesday, after years of service as an administrator and Islamic leader.
Both outlets say Tinubu issues a condolence message following Baba-Ahmed’s passing. While the reports share the same core details—his role in the SCSN and Tinubu’s reaction—Daily Post Nigeria provides additional characterization of Baba-Ahmed as a respected figure and emphasizes his long service to Islam and the nation. The Punch focuses more directly on the fact of Tinubu’s mourning and the basic timing of the death.
Taken together, the coverage centers on Tinubu’s response and Baba-Ahmed’s position within Nigeria’s Supreme Council for Shari’ah, with differences mainly in the amount of biographical description included.
