Abbe passed away in Abuja on Saturday, following a brief illness, at the age of 75.
In a statement signed on Monday by Igoniko Oduma, the Special Assistant on Media to the Administrator, Otuaro described Abbe’s death as a profound loss to the nation, the military, and Edo State, emphasizing his courage, dedication, and exemplary service to Nigeria.

Otuaro extended his heartfelt condolences to Abbe’s family, the military, his community, and the people of Edo State.
Otuaro said, “I received with deep sorrow and shock the news of the passing of Maj-Gen Godwin Abbe after a brief illness in Abuja on Saturday.
