Okey Anigbogu

The FACT is that Okey died from gun shot wounds and is gone forever, the questions in every lip are "who could have killed Okey", "who would want Okey dead", "who would go to the extent of taking Okey's life", "is shedding Okey's blood the answer to whaever", etc. Only the Lord God Almigthy, the All Knowing God that has anwsers to these questions for the secret things belong only to Him. However, the Word of God, which is the TRUTH and our consolation assures that though the Lord is slow to anger, He is great in power and will not acquit the wicked, for His Word, He can not deny promises that upon the wicked He will rain coals, fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.  

Auntie Ngozi, Do accept my deepest sympathies for your loss and ours as well. Uncle Okey was a mentor, teacher and friend to me and my siblings. I am comforted in the assurance that He is with our Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ and we shall all meet again. Ji sie ike, Be comforted and May the Lord grant you strength through these difficult times. It is well

To the Anigbogu and Oguchi Families

 

My heartfelt condolences on your devastating loss.   I too pray that God will give you strength to endure and that he will comfort you until the fulfillment of his promise at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.  The former things have passed away".  What a marvelous hope for the future from our loving creator. 

 

Sincerely,  Stella D'Angelo

 

On behalf of my family, I wish to be associated with the sentiments expressed by so many on the sudden demise of  my friend and cousin Okey. May the bereaved (Anigbogu and Oguchi families) find solace in the life well lived by him.

'Attraction', you came, you saw and you conquered. I will always treasure memories of you.

 

Good Bye Okey!

 

 

General Okey, how could any coward think that cutting down your flesh could end your glory which you won by your ordination as a priest of our most high God? Oh! how the fools thought that killing Jesus, the author of life, would end his kingship; oh! how stupid those who imprisoned Joseph thought they could quench his dream; oh!, how dumb, those who thought they could end the Anigbogu dream by cutting down the giant soldier of the king of kings; oh! how deaf, those who did not hear the  echoes of  Okey in Phl 1:21-23; oh! how ignorant, those who did not hear the assurances of the Master in Jn11:25. Baba Okey, go rest jare!

I learnt with deep shock of the death of my friend and colleague, Okey Anigbogu, who was assassinated in cold blood during the Christmas season. Nothing can explain this senseless killing of a  officer and Gentleman. I recall the warm reception he accorded  me when I visited Duala Cameroon while he served, as well as, the selfless service he gave me each time I needed assistance while he served as SAPS II at MFA. His painful and untimely death should serve as a reminder not only of our fragility but the need for us to reclaim our nation and state from the purveyors of pain and misery that wrecked this underserving havoc on his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the wife and children and I ask that God would grant them the special grace and strength to bear this irrepairable loss.  May his gentle soul rest in Peace. Amen

Mr Okey Anigbogu was a kind gentleman ,always willing to render help and be of great service to a lot of people. You might have be taken in the flesh, but your  legacies will live forever. I pray that God in his infinite mercy will grant Ngozi and the children the unshakable divine strength to bear this loss. On behalf of my family here and at home, I pray that the almighty God will console the Oguchi and Anigbogu families. Amen

The enemies of humanity never go free and never succeed in their devilish intents.  The despicable act of murdering an innocent man before his children and ignoring the plea of a traumatized mother will guarantee they will never have peace the rest of their miserable life. We grieve death of the innocent man Mr. Okey Anigbogu, not only because he was a loving and caring son, father, brother, guardian to his relatives, but also a great citizen of the Oba. In the short time he spent with us, he accomplished and contributed a lot his family and his people. He served the society in many different capacities, both at home and in different parts of the world.

His success may have been grounds for the agents of evil to take his life. To those of  us left to mourn him, and there are many, his great achievements will always lighten our spirits and his memory forever remain dearest to our hearts. He will never be forgotten; the Angels of God will receive him with open arms.

 

His death will not be vain, because through his hard work and dedication to his family, he has prepared his children Oluchi, Chineme, Odinaka and Nkem for successful life and responsible citizenship.  The exemplary life of these wonderful children and their successes will, by far, outlive the devilish intent of those responsible for his death.

 

As a friend to the family of his brother-In-Law Dr. Ifeanyi Oguchi, I want to convey and I ask you to accept our sincere condolence to the family, especially to the children, his wife Mrs. Ngozi Anigbogu and the Oguchi family.  To all of you, my family and I want to ask that you remember him for everything he did to earn your love; and to love you the way he did. Also, we ask you, and we pray to God to guide you, to find the strength to move on and live your life in ways Okey would be proud of.

 

May His Soul Rest In Perfect Peace

Okey,

 

I have been searching for another way of looking at it. I have to if I am to retain my sanity.

 

You have defeated death. In the place where you are, the evil ones will not come close. In no time, they, too, will come face to face with death. And death will defeat them.

 

We mourn because we are human. We weep for we feel it was too early. We weep for we did not say goodbye. We weep for we are hurt by the way it came. But we know that you have done your job and have triumphed over powers and principalities.

 

What remains is for us to run our race as good as you did and be ready to meet you at the other end. We take solace in the great memories you left behind.

 

Until then... goodbye.

Take heart Ngozi. God is with you.

It is with heavey heart that I and my family received the sad news of the passing away of my dear friend and colleague Mr. Okey Anigbogu. May his gentle soul rest with the Lord and my God give the family and we his friends the fortitude to bear the loss. Please once more accept our condolence and may the almighty blesse the children he left behind.

B. M. Rano,

Khartoum.
