The Kano Field Office of the United Nations Children Funds (UNICEF), on Saturday lost its Head of Communications, Malam Rabiu Musa.
Rabiu has been a front line communication expert at the forefront of Covid-19 campaigns since its outbreak in Kano state.
A brief chat with his first son, Babangida Musa Rabiu, who confirmed the death through a phone call in Kano, said his father died on Saturday at the age of 60.
“My dad died at about 3 a.m on Saturday, after battling with sickness for a few days.
“Although, we noticed symptoms suspected to be of Coronavirus, the result of the test conducted is not yet out.
“A week ago, he complained of sore throat and malaria, but after a few days of medication, he became normal.
“Few days later, he complained that he was finding it difficult to breathe.
“He also complained that no matter how short he walked, he loses breath. So, he was taken to the National Orthopaedic Hospital in Dala, on Friday where he gave up,” Babangida said.
Rabiu has since been buried at about 4 p.m. Nigerian time by officials of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). He is survived by seven children and one wife.
