Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has lost his son, Nehemiah Dalung, to the cold hands of death.
The former minister announced Nehemiah’s death via his Facebook page, on Monday.
“Although Nehemiah’s life ended before we were ready, the time he spent in our lives was immemorable.
“Nehemiah Dalung was 33 years old. He was my son.
“There are no words to express the deep pain and sorrow of losing one’s son at his prime age, but we take consolation in God who gives and takes.
“May his soul rest in peace,” he wrote.
Few hours before the announcement, the former minister had shared a video of his ailing son, seeking prayers to keep him (Nehemiah) alive.
The late Nehemiah was bedridden with an unknown ailment.
