“The truth is that he’s been there for his children at all times and we’ll certainly miss his words of wisdom and timely pieces of advice. My community will equally miss him because he has always identified with the people and worked towards the development of the community at large. He has tried his best and we can only take the baton, keep his memories alive and move on strongly” Ikechukwu Omumu concluded.

Pa Boniface Omumu passed on aged 95 years.
