54-year-old Ndifreke Saviour Mark, a Special Assistant to former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode is dead.

Fani-Kayode, popularly known as FFK, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), made this known through his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday, October 21, 2024.

According to him, Ndifreke “left home at 5:30am on Sunday, October 13 for morning Mass as he was devoted member of the Catholic Church of Assumption, Asokoro after which he went to a hotel by the name of Milady Lodge and Apartments in Garki, Abuja.”

FFK noted that “according to the police, he took a room at the hotel and spent some time there with an individual after which he apparently slumped and died in that individual’s presence”.

The Chieftain noted that actions have been taken to ensure that the truth of the matter is unraveled as Ndifreke’s death will not be swept under the rug.

“The individual he was with at the time of his death in the hotel, is now in police custody and I have insisted on a full criminal investigation of the matter and an autopsy.”

“The hotel receptionist has also been detained by the police whilst both the manager and the owner of the hotel were invited for questioning earlier this week.”

“The entire hotel was also sealed up by the police for two days and the room which he lodged remains sealed till today.”

Femi Fani-Kayode noted that he worked with Ndifreke for about 34 years and described him as a ‘reliable and compassionate soul who brought joy to many and who was incapable of hurting a fly’.
