Ibrahim had been battling with kidney disease for several months before he eventually passed away Tuesday.
A friend of the deceased, Salman Umar, said the late Ibrahim gave up the ghost at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital where he had been receiving treatment.
Umar, who expressed deep shock over the demise of his classmate, said the departed Ibrahim will be sorely missed by his colleagues and many people who knew him because of his good characters.
“We are deeply saddened over the sudden death of Ibrahim, though we knew he was battling with a terminal ailment. Ibrahim was a special, caring, humble, loving, pious, brilliant and generous fellow. He was always there for so many of us who were close to him. Little wonder, he was many things to many different people. His death is an emotional disaster of for his colleagues. However, we are consoled that he led an impactful life. May his noble soul rest in peace,” he added.
