The Nigeria Police Academy, Kano, has confirmed the death of one of its cadets, Sulaiman Jika, who succumbed to a brief and unexpected illness.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the Public Relations Officer of the Academy, ASP Hussain Suleiman, “Jika, a dedicated cadet from the Department of Computer Science, was a proud native of Adamawa State.”
Suleiman said, “On 29th August, 2023, he sought medical attention at the Academy Clinic due to an ailment. Following a diligent course of treatment and his gradual recovery, he was certified fit and discharged by the Medical Doctor on call the next day, and tasked to return at regular intervals for checks which he adhered to. However, fate took an unforeseen turn. On 2nd September 2023, he was once again admitted to the clinic for further examination and care following a complaint of restlessness. Though his vitals were normal upon examination and all necessary medical steps were taken, we regrettably report his untimely passing.
“The Commandant of the Nigeria Police Academy, AIG Sadiq Idris Abubakar, extends his deepest condolences to the grieving family, friends, and loved ones of Cadet Sulaiman Jika. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this period of profound sorrow. May God Almighty grant them the strength and resilience to bear this heavy loss.”
