“That was our wish, which never came. What happened has happened. We have to submit to the will of God, but we are very proud of our son, for he made us proud. All we can wish him is to rest in peace,” Mr Lagbaja said.

“He was building a very standard project of about N550 million for the school which is about 80 per cent completion.

“When we heard the news, it was very shocking for all of us both in Nigeria and diaspora, hence the decision to pay a condolences visit to the family,”he said.
