The Nigerian National flag and other flags at the Presidential Villa in Abuja have been adjusted to fly at half-mast following the death of late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Ibrahim Attahiru and 10 others who died in an air crash on Friday.
The directive was given by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, revealed that this move will last for three days.
Personal Assistant to the President on Broadcast Media, Buhari Sallau, shared photos from the Presidential Villa to show compliance with the directive.
“Flags flying at half-mast at the State House, Abuja, in honour of the departed Chief of Army Staff and other military officers, who died in a plane crash on Friday, May 21, 2021,” he captioned the photos.
