Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps’s acting deputy commandant general in charge of critical national assets and infrastructure, Helen Amakiri, is dead.
NSCDC announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
According to the statement, Ms Amakiri died in the early hours of Tuesday after a brief illness.
NSCDC commandant general Ahmed Audi said the demise of Ms Amakiri was a loss to the civil defence.
He said Ms Amakiri was an exceptionally outstanding officer and a gallant and erudite senior management staff member.
“Acting DCG Amakiri was in charge of CNAI, a position she held with utmost dedication and effective service delivery before her sudden demise,” he said.
Mr Audi commiserates with the family and friends of the deceased, praying that the Almighty God would grant the repose of her soul.
The statement indicated that Ms Amakiri, born in 1966, was enlisted into the NSCDC as a commissioned officer in 2004 and rose through the ranks, largely due to her dedication to duty and excellent academic achievements.
