According to a statement by the governor's spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, Governor Dauda Lawal decorated twenty Community Protection Guards (CPGs) who had distinguished themselves in their duties during that occasion.

The funeral prayer for the late CPG Commander took place in the Sabon Gari area of Gusau, the state's capital, on Thursday evening.

Following traditional ceremonies, he was laid to rest in accordance with Islamic customs.
