The former Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan, Moses Jituboh, is dead.
Jituboh died on Friday at the age of 54 after a brief
illness.
Sources said efforts are underway to conduct an
autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Jituboh served as Jonathan’s ADC during his tenure as governor of
Bayelsa State and continued in the role when Jonathan became Vice President and
later President of Nigeria .
After Jonathan’s loss in the 2015 presidential
election, Jituboh returned to regular police duties, where he rose through the
ranks and was, at one point, considered for the position of Inspector General
of Police.
He retired from the Nigeria Police
Force in 2023, having served as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in charge of the
Department of Research and Planning and later the Department of Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) at Force Headquarters.
The Zone 16 Police Command, headquartered in Bayelsa
State, has expressed its condolences to the Jituboh family and the people of
Bayelsa.
In a statement by the Zonal Public Relations Officer,
Emonena Gunn, AIG Adebola Hamzat described Jituboh’s death as a profound loss.
“He was enlisted into the Police Force on the 10th of
June 1994 as a cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police. His contributions to
the Nigeria Police
Force, dedication to service, and integrity can never be forgotten,” the
statement read.
The police pointed out Jituboh’s enduring legacy of
professionalism and commitment, noting that his death is a significant loss not
only to his immediate family but also to the people of Bayelsa State, the Nigeria Police
Force, and the nation as a whole.
