DIG Moses Jituboh, ex-President Jonathan’s ADC dies at 54

 

A former Aide-de-Camp to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Moses Jituboh is dead.

Jituboh died on Friday at the age of 54 after a brief illness.

Jituboh was Jonathan’s ADC while he was governor of Bayelsa State and as Vice President.

He remained in Jonathan’s security team when he became President.

After the 2015 presidential election which Jonathan lost, he returned to his police duty and was, at a point, touted to be appointed Inspector General of Police, but lost out.

Meanwhile, the Zone 16 Police Command has commiserated with Jituboh family and Bayelsans over the death of the former Deputy Inspector-General.

A statement by the Zonal Public Relations Officer, Emonena Gunn, on Saturday said the AIG Zone 16, Adebola Hamzat, “expresses condolence to the immediate family and the good people of Bayelsa state over the death of Bayelsa Born DIG Moses Ambakina Jituboh, mni.”

The statement added, “He was enlisted into the Police Force on the 10th of June 1994 as a cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.”

The statement described his demise as a great loss to his immediate family, Bayelsa State, Nigeria Police and the country.

It added, “His contributions to the Nigeria Police Force, dedication to service and integrity can never be forgotten, as before his retirement in 2023, he was DIG in-charge of the Department of Research and Planning, and also served as DIG Department of Information & Communications Technology (ICT), Force Headquarters.

“The passing of DIG Moses Ambakina Jituboh is a great loss, not only to the immediate family but to the entire Bayelsa State, Nigeria Police Force and the nation at large.

“It is our prayer that God will give the immediate family the strength to bear the irreplaceable loss of your beloved son.

“On behalf of the entire officers and men of the zone, please accept the heartfelt condolences of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 16 Command.”
