A statement from the association read: “The death of Mr. Ray Ugochukwu came to us rudely and unexpectedly. It is a big loss to us in MARAN.

“Despite the fact that he was no longer in the association, the deceased was always available to give counsel to the association which he held in high esteem. We are going to miss his father-figure. 

“We mourn with his immediate family – wife and children, and the entire family of Ugochukwu. 

“It is our prayers that God who knows better than us will console them and be their helper at this critical time. 

“May his kind and gentle soul find rest in the bosom of his creator.”
