Mallam Abba Kyari, President Muhammadu Buhari’s chief of staff is dead.

“The deceased had tested positive to the ravaging COVID-19, and had been receiving treatment. But he died on Friday, April 17, 2020.
“May God accept his soul.Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly”, Adesina added.
Kyari’s underlying medical conditions was believed to have complicated his battle with the disease. And thus caused his death.
He showed the symptoms of the disease after he returned from a trip to Germany last month.
His positive testing almost shut down the business of government.
Both the Federal Executive Council and National Council of State Meetings were postponed indefinitely.
It also led to a flurry of tests by people who had been in contact with him.
Among these were President Buhari, VP Yemi Osinbajo and Secretary to government, Boss Mustapha.
Governors also took the COVID-19 tests.
Kyari later came out in the open to declare he had COVID-19. He was then hospitalised in a private hospital in Lagos. The presidency did not indicate where he was treated.
But some reports said he was hospitalised at First Cardiology Consultant (FCC), a private health facility located at Thompson Avenue in Ikoyi.
Abba Kyari is survived by four children.
