Governor Hyacinth Alia has condoled the Senate minority leader/senator representing Benue South senatorial district, Abba Moro, over the death of his son, Victor Moro, and his grandson, Abba Moro Jr.

This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday in Makurdi by Tersoo Kula, chief press secretary to the governor.

Mr Alia described the deaths of the lawmaker’s sons within 24 hours of each other as painful and devastating, saying, “Anyone who believes in humanity will be touched by the double tragedy.”

He urged the lawmaker, his family, the people of Benue South, and the entire state to accept what had happened as the will of God, who gives and takes away life.

Mr Victor, who had recently completed his studies in Turkey, reportedly returned to Nigeria to begin his National Youth Service Corps programme.

He died in a fatal automobile crash along the Mararaba axis in Nasarawa, just 24 hours after the burial of his father’s grandson.
