A retired senior Military Officer and one-time Governor of Kaduna State, Mouktar Muhammed, is dead.

Muhammed, a retired Air Vice Marshal, died Sunday evening, according to a Facebook announcement by his younger brother, Faruk Dalhatu.

Dalhatu, who described the deceased as “patriarch of the Dalhatu family”, gave the cause of his death as cancer.

The retired Military Officer was the first Governor of Kaduna State, after its creation in 1977, by the Military administration of Olusegun Obasanjo.

Muhammed was famously the Head of one of the Military Tribunal that tried the second republic politicians suspected of corruption under the Military administration of Muhammadu Buhari, from 1983 to 1985.

Many of those politicians were sentenced to decades in prison.
