OSINBAJO AT LATE ESCORT RIDER’S VILLAGE, EXPRESSES GRIEF, PRAISES OFFICER’S DILIGENT SERVICE

*Assures family, community of government’s support

“Late Inspector Ali Gomina was an officer that was loved by many, he served very dutifully and diligently. We are all very sad when this happened. It is terrible.”

Those were the words of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, earlier today when he paid a condolence visit to the family of late Inspector Ali Gomina and the entire Gui community in the Abuja Municipal Area Council.

Prof. Osinbajo arrived the community at about 3.45 pm accompanied by aides and was received by the Chief of the village, Alhaji Alhassan Yussuf and other leaders of the community.

After prayers by the Imam of Gui community mosque, Abubakar Jibril and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor in the community, Pastor Adegbe Julius, the Vice President spent time interacting with the family especially the widow of the deceased, Asiya Ali Gomina and his first son, Ali Kabiru Gomina, expressing his condolence and encouraging them.

Addressing the chief of the village and others shortly after interacting with the family, Prof. Osinbajo said “We all loved him. He served very dutifully and diligently. We are all very sad when this happened. It is terrible. We were all there and saw it happen and we are very pained by it. This is the reason we have all come, to commiserate with the family and the community.”

Assuring the family and the community of government’s support to both the immediate family of the late officer and the community in general, the Vice President said “I am here today myself to see his children, and see what we can do to help the family, and in his honour, what we can do to help his community.”

Prof. Osinbajo then prayed “God will help and sustain his family, we pray that all will be well with his family and community.

“We will also see what we can do to assist the community in whatever way. God bless you, well done.”

Late Inspector Ali Gomina, aged 45, one of the police escort riders in the Office of the Vice President, was killed in a road accident while on official duty on Friday 13th March 2020.

Gomina died after a runaway Toyota Camry car ran into him, knocking him and throwing him down against a moving tanker way ahead of the convoy on the expressway to the airport in Abuja.

My condolences to the office of the vice President too.

It’s a sad incident
May God console the family and give them fortitude to bear this loss. Amen

Rest In Peace

The best thing that can happen is for this man to be president of Nigeria

The VP did well by visiting the family of that gallant officer

It's such a pathetic one! My heart goes out to the bereaved family as I send my deepest sympathies. A big thank you too to the person of VP Prof Osinbajo for his display of compassion and sensitivity to people's plights as evident in his prompt condolence visit to the family as well as his promises of support for the family and community.

May his soul find rest.

This shows how caring the VP is. May the soul of the departed rest in peace and may God give the family fortitude to bear the loss

So sad.....May his soul rest in peace......but they should learn to apply caution when driving all these politicians......the reckless driving is scary.

Too bad

So sad, may Almighty console his family

Very sad!! May his soul rest in peace. Kudos to the VP for the visit, that is how good leader act.

Osinbajo a good man with honest soul. Even if it's a commissioner that this thing happened to he may not go and see his family.

Thank you Mr vice president for getting in touch with his family, may God grant them fortitude to bear the loss...Rest on Inspector Ali Gomina

Osinbajo did well, maybe if we also show abit more feelings towards the police some of them might start behaving rightly.. this is really worthy of emulation by other leaders

RIP to the man, even his soul would be somewhat relieved that the family he left behind may get abit of relief and his kids some schorlarship even if its police childrens school, or even letter of recommendation signed by Osinbajo himself, even if its Honourary Medal to their Dad that they can frame and hang in their Sitting Room and look at it when they feel sad and hopeless
