This young man by name Modestus Onah a master degree student at UNEC waked up on Saturday the 9th day of November hale and hearty, dressed up with his jogging outfits. Came to okpara square, Enugu to keep fit as usual, but he did not return alive. He slumped while jogging with a sporting group along the road, we tried reviving and stabilizing him immediately just within 4mins the incident happened, he died. Prayers was said fervently but he is gone. The question is did he offend God or is he the worst sinner?, the answers are on the “No” side. Let us all know that “In Midst Of Life lies death”. Forgive who offended you, apologize to whom you offended and be liberated, for holding the grudges does not worth it. Death! a Lesson to the Living. Rest in peace my Brother”
