Nigeria’s Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, is bereaved following the death of his wife, Naomi.
Naomi who has six children for the Jos-born administrator passed away in the early hours of Sunday.
Dalung, 52, took to his Facebook page to announce the sad lost.
“For it is appointed for man to live thereafter comes death and judgment says the Holy Bible,” he said.
“While in the Quran, it states that it is appointed that every soul shall test death.
“My heart is heavy, I cannot continue, I lost my first wife, Mrs Briskila this morning. May her soul and the souls of faithful departed rest in the bosom of the Lord, amen.
“What a black Sunday.”
