When Legit.ng reached out to Edelquinn C. Akighir, a close friend of the late army officer Lt. Haruna Samson, she spoke with visible emotion as she recounted their shared childhood and friendship that lasted until his death.
She began:
"We both grew up at 2 Division Army Barracks (Odogbo Barracks) in Ibadan. I stayed at Garrison Block A11 with my parents before we moved to the Senior NCO Quarters in the same barracks, while Samson and his parents lived at Garrison Block B5. And for us that grew up in the barracks, we lived as though we were one family.
She added:
"Our place of worship was side by side. He was part of the active band group in his church in the barracks before he went to medical school. Samson was more of a brother to me and to everyone who grew up in the barracks. Even after barracks, we still kept in touch till his death. Samson was a very humble and vibrant person.”
Speaking further, she described the qualities that made him stand out as a friend and individual.
“Samson will always come through for you when in need. He has listening ears; he’s never busy to hear you out.”
Recalling how she learned of his death, Edelquinn said the news came as a painful shock.
Hee statement;
"So, I belong to a WhatsApp group that has all the old boys and girls of Odogbo Barracks."
She continued:
"When they dropped the write-up about Samson, I didn’t bother downloading the picture; I just read through and immediately I saw the name ‘Samson Haruna.’ I said to myself, I hope it’s not the same Samson Haruna I know? Then I went to download the picture, and behold it was Samson. Immediately I called another childhood friend of mine who is a military officer and who was very close to Samson too. Then I said to him, ‘There’s a rumour flying around about Samson, what’s happening?’ He then confirmed to me that it wasn’t a rumour and that it’s true that Samson Haruna is no more. Chai, that broke my heart so deeply.”
When asked about memories she’d like others to remember, she chose to honour his spirit rather than private moments.
Her statement:
“I don’t disclose personal messages. For anyone who knew Samson closely, they can testify that he was a great person. Never a dull moment with Sam; you will always laugh so hard.”
Edelquinn concluded with a touching message to everyone mourning his loss.
She noted:
"Death is inevitable." Samson is no more — though it hurts, but then his short life on earth was impactful, and only God knows why things turned out this way. Whichever way, we give God all the glory, and to his mum and siblings, I pray God Almighty grant them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss."
