Former Kwara Senator and Nigerian Military Strategist Pass Away: Rafiu Ibrahim and Colonel Hassan Stan-Labo Laid to Rest

Nigeria mourns the loss of two distinguished individuals: former Kwara South Senator, Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim, and Colonel Hassan Stan-Labo, a celebrated security consultant and defence strategist.

Both have left a profound impact on their respective domains and will be remembered for their dedication and service.

Rafiu Ibrahim, who represented Kwara South Senatorial District in the eighth National Assembly, passed away on Wednesday morning, leaving behind a legacy of service and commitment to the people he represented.

The news was shared by his family, who requested prayers and support during this difficult time. Ibrahim’s burial arrangements will be communicated in due course, and his family prays for his soul to find eternal peace in the afterlife.

In a separate development, the Nigerian Military School (NMS) Old Boys forum announced the death of Colonel Hassan Stan-Labo (Rtd.), a respected security consultant and defence strategist.

Air Commodore Sani Zakari (Rtd.) confirmed the news, marking a significant loss within the military community.

Stan-Labo, a short-service officer trained at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), was a proud member of the 1979 NMS Boy set.

He was known for his strategic acumen and contributions to national security. His passing is mourned by the military and security communities, who recognize the void left by his absence.

As Nigeria lays to rest these two figures, the nation reflects on their contributions and the legacy they leave behind.

Their lives and work serve as a reminder of the importance of service and dedication to one’s country and community.
