We all wined and dined together only to receive the sad news few days ago that he was dead. This is a big shock to me and the rest of us. I just want to believe that there is more to it than meets the eyes. His mother has been ill for so many years and to make matter worse he is the bread winner of the family'',Uche lamented.
