Abba Kyari died of COVID-19 complications on the 17th of April, 2020 after he tested positive on the 29th of March after he returned from an official trip to Germany.

While he was alive, he was described as the face of the “cabal” in the ASO Villa because of his position and influence in the Presidency.
Before his death, he was accused of meddling with issues that border with national security by Babagana Mungono, the National Security Adviser.
