A student with a future,  gone too soon! No words can truly capture the grief that now fills the hearts of his classmates, especially the students of SSS 1, who only yesterday,  shared laughter, lessons, and youthful hopes with him. We pray that God, in His infinite mercy, comfort Splendid Secondary School, Naka, the management, teachers, students, and most especially his family. May He grant them the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
