“On behalf of my immediate family and the good people of Ughelli North Local Government Area, I expressed my heartfelt condolences to my dear brother, friend, and great colleague on the passing of his beloved wife, Mrs. Rosemary Oromoni.”
One of the late Sylvester’s sisters, Amanda, identified on Instagram as amandaoromoni, also marked the family’s loss with a symbolic post that appeared to reflect the family’s grief and the dates of the losses.
On her Instagram profile, Amanda wrote, “30-11-21, 25-11-24,” marking the anniversary of her brother, Sylvester’s death and the date of her mother’s passing, respectively.
