Mr. Aondosoo Tondo, a two-time Student Union President at the Benue State University, a talented lecturer with the University of Mkar and a Chairmanship aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), who was killed by unknown gunmen, on the 11th of August, at his residence in Gboko was on Thursday, Sept 1, in a heartwrenching and moving ceremony laid to rest in his village of Mbaaniyol-Mbaakura in Buruku Local Government, Benue State.
According to his friend, Shie Odimámá Aondoakaa, it was a gut-wrenching sight as men wept profusely, women cried out their hearts and the young had tears cascading down their cheeks. For words are not sufficient to define the pain and sorrow that permeated the air in that village especially watching his innocent kids cling to their young mother at his graveside in horror at the enormity of it all.
Rev. Fr. Agbecha who presided over the funeral didn't preach the Bible, no! Rather he spoke extensively from his heart to the Mbagen community, Buruku LG and the Tiv race. And his message was deep. He charged the Mbagen Traditional heads to search/trace where this death came from to discern who the evil men or women are in the Tiv community.
Meanwhile, there are accusations and counter-accusations about a Commissioner in the Dr Samuel Ortom led administration as being culpable for the death of this vibrant young man.
May his soul rests in peace.
