Ace broadcaster with Radio Nigeria, Yahaya Umar, reportedly died Sunday night in his office on the 11th floor of the Radio House in Area 10, Abuja.

The assistant Director, with the Federal Radio Corporation (FRCN), was one of the most recognisable voices on the FRCN network with his unique style of anchoring network news at 7am, 4 and 10pm.

When Abuja Metro visited Radio Nigeria headquarters on Monday, staff members were seen discussing his demise in groups.

They prayed to Allah to rest his soul and give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
