Early inthe morning at 7:30am, we were all ready to go and removed my father’s corps from the mortuary.We traveled the previous day to the village to lay our father to rest .Due to the Anglophone crisis in my region.

Only 3 of us out of 8 in our family went to the village while the rest of my siblings remain in our main in town Bamenda. At my fathers place where he was leaving with my mom. Due to insecurity reasons. At 8:00am my fathers mortal remains was removed from the mortuary carried inside an ambulance car to the church directly.Saint Cornelius Catholic Mission Kumbo.

In 2hours, the priest was done with the church service for my dad.I learnt a lot from the priest first ,second reading and Gospel preaching.As an elderly man during you are resting from your works that you have done on earth.All we need is to pray for their souls to rip.My father,s corps was carried by church elders out of the church into the ambulance to be taken to our house where my dad will be laid to rest .

My father’s graveyard after burial,RIP father

Around 4:00pm,after the burial people were entertained with foods, chawbles and drinks .My village is a very dengerous zone for seperatist fighters.For the fear not to be kidnapped we had to leave the village the same day with my mom.Luckily we already had a driver that we arranged to take us back to town.

At 5:30am,we left the village, at one point places were already dark we had to spent a night at one of my aunts place at Jakiri to kickoff early inthe morning to Bamenda where we are leaving .That how my father was laid to rest .Rest in peace Father ,we love you but God love you most.
