In a Facebook on Friday, Sani described the late Coomassie as patriot and an elder statesman who was passionate about the country.
“Dr Ibrahim Coomasie ordered my arrest and signed my detention order in Kirikiri prison, Lagos in 1995. When I was released from prison, he reached out to me and we became ‘friends’ and I related with him as a father,” the senator said.
“I visited him at home a couple of times and visited him while on his sick bed few weeks ago.
“We lost a patriot, an elder statesman,a through bred professional and a man ever passionate about his country and his people. May his soul rest in Aljanna Firdausi. Amin.”
