An aide of the Deputy-Governor when contacted and speaking under anonymity, said, “Family yet to speak, but i am yet to confirm the report.”

Below is the press statement from the Lagos State chapter of the NMA:

“It’s a dark moment in the Nigerian Medical Association, Lagos State, as we announce with deep regret the death of our very young colleague, Dr Haroun Hamzat. Its “sunset at dawn” as he was just 37 years old.

“He worked as a medical officer at one of the PHCs under Orile Agege LCDA until his demise.

“We commiserate with his immediate family, friends, associates, colleagues and staff of Lagos State PHC Board and indeed the medical fraternity of Lagos State. We pray against such premature deaths in our fold.

“May the Almighty God grant his family and all of us, the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss, Amen

Nigerians are evil, most of them! When someone dies, instead of them to rejoice and thank God for calling him home, they will not! Bunch of wicked, heartless, evil and envious lot!

Shedding crocodile tears.. Not because they love the young man, but cos they're pissed that he left them behind to go and meet the Lord in a better place!

The same thing happens to the living.. When you prosper on Earth, these same evil hypocrites will do everything to bring you down!

See eh, only God can help us in this country!

your first 2 Paragraphs finish everything. Churches dey teach say if we die na heaven straight, while people cry again when death occur, nobody wan die but them believe say them go enter heaven upon death.what hypocrisy. We are all dust, both man and animal, so we will all become upon death. Adam and Eve aren't different from us. Only hope for man is Resurrection on last day as Bible teach..this I can authoritatively confirm.

AfonjaMuslim:
Covid19 as expected.
That's the only way to die these days....

Absolute rubbish
