The Commissioner was said to have died on Monday at his house on Damboa Road in Maiduguri, the state capital.
The state’s Commissioner of Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, confirmed the passing of Ahmed in a statement issued on Monday.
Tar said the burial of the late commissioner would take place at his residence on Monday evening, according to Islamic rites.
The New Diplomat reports that Ahmed was sworn in on August 10, 2024. He had also served as the State Zonal Manager of Zenith Bank in Maiduguri.
