(VOBA), also confirmed the news of his passing.
In a heartfelt message posted on their social
media platform, VOBA stated, “On a very sad note, we regret to announce the
sudden passing of our member, Mr Richard Adamu Tallen.
Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord, may
perpetual light shine upon him. May the soul of Richard and all departed VOBA
members RIP. Amen.”

Science from a United States university, is survived by his wife and three
children.

immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari

Tallen's disparaging remarks against the judiciary following a Federal High
Court decision in Adamawa state last year, Premium Times reported.
