At the time of his passing, Suleman served in the Public Relations Department of Sa’adu Zungur University, Gadau. His humility, dedication to duty, and commitment to truth and fairness earned him respect and admiration from colleagues, friends, and all who knew him.
Governor Mohammed commiserated with Suleman’s immediate family, the media community, and the people of Bauchi State, urging them to bear the loss with fortitude. He prayed that Suleman’s soul rest in perfect peace.
This latest development comes after Governor Mohammed had previously called for a thorough investigation into the murder of another prominent figure in the state, Alhaji Isa Muhammad Wabi, a respected elder and former Chairman of Jama’are Local Government Area.
