Late Dr Wummen Bako’s life in pictures – A tribute!

The demise of Dr Wummen Bako has thrown Plateau into a deep sense of mourning and grief. The promising young man’s life was cut short by a lingering illness, which incapacitated him in the last few months.

ViewPointNigeria gathered that the Governor’s late brother died around 1:30 am at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), but his remains were later moved to the Nigerian Airforce hospital in Jos.

Until his death, Wumen was a certified accountant and a lecturer with the faculty of Management Science at the University of Jos.

He was a fellow of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) and is survived by his wife, Evelyn Wumen Bako and four children
