The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has scaled down the wedding activities of his son, Mr Hamisu Tukur Buratai.
According to a statement by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sagir Musa, the development was due to the resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This, he said, appeared to be a second wave of infection cycle and the unfortunate incident, on Tuesday, 8 December, 2020, where an officer participating in the ongoing Chief of Army Staff’s Annual Conference 2020 tested positive to COVID 19.
Musa further said the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai informed all dignitaries and other guests that activities earlier scheduled for the wedding of his son Mr Hamisu Tukur Buratai would proceed as arranged albeit pruned down without the participation of all those who were at the conference.
“The Chief of Army Staff, on behalf of his family, feels honoured to sincerely appreciate, thank and welcome all dignitaries and guests to his son’s Wedding Fatiha slated for Friday 11 December 2020.
“However, due to the resurgence of the Pandemic in the FCT, General Buratai will be unable to personally attend to, receive or meet you at the event,” Musa said.
