“The late CoS will be buried today at his residence on Moro Street, Adewole Estate, Ilorin, after the Asr prayer. His Excellency deeply mourns the death of Prince AbdulKadir Mahe, a perfect gentleman, community leader, urbane public servant, and statesman.

“The Governor commiserates with the Emir of Ilorin Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari; the immediate family of Prince AbdulKadir; government establishments; and cabinet members. We ask for the understanding of everyone during this mournful period as the government and family mourn the quintessential public servant.

“We pray that Allaah accepts his return, ease his accounts, admit him to al-Jannah Firdaus, and uphold his family upon goodness”, the statement said.
