Brother-in-law mourns Lt. Samson Haruna
On her Facebook page, the brother of the officer’s wife shared how both families were affected by the death
He wrote in his post:
“Some people think my words about this tragedy have been calm because I feel no pain. They couldn’t be more mistaken. What they don’t know is that sorrow has been walking quietly in my soul since the day this news broke.
“My knowledge of him, his siblings, and his parents goes far beyond the bond of in-lawship — it is rooted in years of respect, friendship, and shared humanity. We were more than families joined by marriage; we were hearts joined by understanding.
“So yes, I write with restraint, not because I feel less, but because grief sometimes has no words strong enough. Both families drink from the same cup of pain today. And while tongues may differ in expression, the tears are the same — silent, deep, and real.
“May God heal every heart touched by this loss. May His peace rest upon both families. And may the memory of our beloved Lt. Samson Haruna live on — not in rumors, but in truth, honor, and light.”
