To think I am finding out the nickname you were hiding from me like this is terribly painful.
Just this short period of meeting and knowing you was amazing and now the wicked people of Idiaraba have unjustly taken my friend away.

Lots of people especially students and LUTH staff have been robbed on that road. It’s sad that this young colleague had to lose his life over a situation that was entirely preventable.
May the Lord Almighty grant his family the fortitude to bear this loss. #JusticeForStephen
