“I remember when we were charting and discussing about our life after graduation. You even promised to come to Gashaka with your own personal car during my wedding.

Because we categorically agreed that we will hustle and gather resources before our Law School. You even told me that after graduation you will enhance your Banana and Palm Tree Plantation at Ndaforo, Kurmi LGA.

“We are only left with a month to graduate. Just for me to hear that you engaged in a motor-accident and you died instantly.

What a gruesome accident. What a gruesome dead. Death why, you took away a vibrant potential Counsel.

A young Lawyer in the making full of intellectual momentum and colossus.

“What a great lost 500 Level Students. What a great lost Faculty of Law Taraba State University! What a great lost TSU! In totur what a great lost to incoming generation. I am in dark gloom and deep depression.”
