The Executive Chairman of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Brigadier General Mohammed Buba Marwa, on Friday, condoled with the founder of pro-democracy and civil rights advocacy group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, over the death of his sister, Mrs. Patricia Okereke Onwubiko.
Marwa, in a Letter of Condolence, stated that, “The death of a loved one is a trying period for the human family. But as we have come to understand as mortals, death is a necessary end and a home call by God that we must all submit to.
“As such, we take solace in the life and times of Mrs. Patricia Okereke, who was an epitome of good parenting, honesty, enduring values, and service to humanity, qualities she did not fail to bequeath to her children and grandchildren.”
The NDLEA Boss further wrote, “In this moment of grief, be reminded that society celebrates Mrs. Okereke as a woman who had acquitted herself well of her earthly assignments before departing this world.
“Her passage, no doubt, is painful for the family to bear. I pray that God Almighty will grant you, the family, and her community the fortitude to bear the loss.”
Late Mrs. Okereke would be committed to Mother Earth on August 29th, at her late husband’s compound in Ndiuche Ochie-uno in Arondizuogu, Ideato-North LGA of Imo State, according to the burial arrangement sent to THE WHISTLER by Onwubiko.
