“Gwali was courageous and astute with a remarkable sense of commitment to the service of his father land throughout his career.
“It is sad that his life was cut short by evildoers and would be certainly missed by all,” he said.
He urged the family members to take solace in the fact that the late officer lived a life worthy of emulation.
Gunmen killed Gwali in his farm, Laminga, near Keffi, Nassarawa, on August 10. The killers have not been found.
Gwali was born on April 5, 1956, and was enlisted into the Nigerian Prisons Service in November 1989.
