On her Facebook page, Retyit Grace Dasar mourned Haruna and shared their last conversation.
She said in her post:
“Haruna, everyone is a mes,s but I am more pained for mama who stayed by your side till your last breath. Exactly a month ago on the 5th of September we spoke for the last time, you said how you were going to try to make it back home for Uncle Sheddys wedding and I jokingly said, by crook or by hook better come back.
“Less than a month later, you return but not the way anyone thought. The whole house reminds me of you and I am here grateful that I have work to keep me away from home just a little.
“Today we will sorrow because you were one of the most promising people I knew. I saw how hard you pushed, how hard you worked to be all you were and I will hold unto those things.
“Somehow I am grateful there are a few things to hold unto. Thank you for being my friend, my brother, my doctor. Thank you for pouring out love, for putting out smiles on all our faces.
“I choose to remember you as happy, as kind, as resilient, as God fearing, as the one who poured out love, as the sunday school teacher with deep passion for his children and many more and not anything will change it. Till we meet again.”
