“We can only imagine the loss of a man who was a dear friend and remained loyal to the cause for 42 years. He died while in active service of his country. We pray that Allah will grant Mr President the fortitude to bear the loss of a dear friend and partner. We also pray for his family, including his wife and four children who must be missing their father and pillar of support,” said NMA.
