Death dealt the Emerhor’s family a mortal hurt. So deep is their wound that the fairest of tributes and most soothing psycho-babble cannot extinguish the pain that afflicts their hearts. Of all the aged folk in their family, the grim-reaper decided to claim the life of Ijamani Emerhor. Sadly, death, we have since come to accept, is man’s most inevitable end. But when it does happen, it leaves in its trail anguish and sorrow. It is even worse in families where the heir apparent is the one death stings.
That was the fate that befell the Oloorogun Otega Emehor, the Delta state guber aspirant and top businessman, whose handsome son, Ijamani was brutally murdered by some unscrupulous brigands ten years ago. Apart from the fact that Ijamani was very brilliant, he was also well-loved and cherished by all. Some days back, Olorogun and his immediately family remembered their darling son, Ijamani with special prayer session for the repose of the dead. As God will have it, the bereaved family has been blessed with a lovely set of twin boys sometime back. How time flies indeed!
