In a heartbreaking turn of events, Umar Auwal Umar, a staff member at First Bank’s Kontagora branch, passed away just hours after his wedding on October 25, 2024. The young man had tied the knot with his beloved, Hauwa, but his life was tragically cut short in the early hours of October 26.
The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. Friends and colleagues, including Nafiu Yakubu, took to social media to pay tribute to Umar’s kindness and impact, with many expressing shock and sorrow at his sudden passing.
As condolences poured in, quotes from Hazel Gaynor and Thomas Campbell resonated: “To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die” and “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” May Umar’s soul rest in peace.
