The late Brig Gen SG Yakubu
The one week remembrance for the late Brig Gilbert Yakubu took place at his No. 55 Juba Villas at Burma Camp.
The Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who was there as the Chairman of the Armed Forces Council and as an old Tamascan – Tamale Secondary School – exchanged greetings with the Military High Command present at the occasion.
The deceased was the Vice President’s schoolmate at Tamale Secondary School now Tamale Senior High School.
It was a solemn occasion given the abruptness of the death of the man who was the Commander of the Ghana Military Academy, Teshie.
The deceased’s uncle Lt. Gen. Joshua Hamidu (rtd), who had been busy since the death of his nephew receiving sympathizers and making rounds between Burma Camp and his home, was one of the prominent personalities at the residence of the deceased, including other family members. Brig Yakubu is son of the late former IGP BA Yakubu.
