DIG Moses Jitoboh
Former Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Moses Jitoboh, has passed away.
Jitoboh, a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police from Bayelsa state, served as ADC to Jonathan during his tenure as Vice President under the late President Umaru Yar’Adua from 2007 to 2010.
The former police chief died on Friday at Garki General Hospital in Abuja due to blood clots in his lungs.
Mr. Jitoboh’s career in the police force came to an abrupt end following his compulsory retirement after the appointment of the current Inspector General of Police. He subsequently approached the National Industrial Court in Abuja, alleging that he had been forced out of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Commiserating with his family and the people of Bayelsa state, the command’a spokesperson, Emonena Gunn in a statement said, “His contributions to the Nigeria Police Force, dedication to service and integrity can never be forgotten, as before his retirement in 2023, he was DIG in-charge of the Department of Research and Planning, and also served as DIG Department of Information & Communications Technology (ICT), Force Headquarters.
“The passing of DIG Moses Ambakina Jituboh is a great loss, not only to the immediate family but to the entire Bayelsa State, Nigeria Police Force and the nation at large.
“It is our prayer that God will give the immediate family the strength to bear the irreplaceable loss of your beloved son,” Gunn said.
