Danladi Ndayebo, a former Commissioner for Information in Niger State is dead.
The popular journalist was a former Editor at LEADERSHIP Newspapers.
Ndayebo died on Monday afternoon following an auto crash on Sunday.
Members of his family, friends and associates are paying tributes using their Facebook pages and other social media platforms.
Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, said that he had a conversation with Ndayebo before he died.
“Yesterday I was on the phone with Mohammed Isa. He warned me not to keep him talking, as he was in a rush to catch up with me for Ndayebo ahead of a trip to Minna.”
The Commissioner revealed that the two of them have planned to meet their intimate friend, Justice Aminu Garba, whose son is missing.
“This morning, I tried to reach both Mohammed and Danladi to no avail. They were involved in an accident. We lost Danladi, and Mohamed is recuperating”, Aruwan wrote.
Ndayebo has served as Chief Press Secretary to Babangida Aliyu, the Niger Governor, before he was promoted to the position of commissioner.
