The Gombe State government has confirmed the death of its Commissioner for Internal Security, retired Colonel Abdullahi Bello, who tragically died in a car accident alongside his police orderly, Sergeant Adamu Husaini.
The fatal crash occurred on Friday, October 24, along the Malam Sidi–Gombe Road while the commissioner was returning from Maiduguri, Borno State. He had attended the North East Regional Consultation on the Development of a National Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration (DDR) framework.
Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya announced the passing through a statement by his spokesperson, Ismaila Uba-Misilli. The governor described the death as heartbreaking and praised the late commissioner as a disciplined, patriotic officer who played a key role in maintaining peace and security in the state.
“Bello brought his wealth of military experience, leadership, and patriotism into the service of Gombe State,” Yahaya stated. “He was a pillar of discipline, courage, and selfless service.”
Governor Yahaya added that Bello’s death is a monumental loss not just to his family and the government, but also to Gombe State and Nigeria as a whole.
