He prayed to God to accept his soul and grant the immediate family, the government and people of Kaduna State, as well as the Nigerian Army and the Nation as a whole, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

He reports that, during the congress, the pastors who were drawn from ten Local Government Areas in the Zone, passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the Association and commended them for the zeal and sacrifices they have been making to take the Association to greater heights and improve the image of the church in Southern Kaduna.
