Another friend of Monday, Immo Pat took to his Instagram page to mourn his friend as he gave a brief timeline of events before Monday’s death.
He wrote, “On November 21, l helped you check your state of deployment online.
“November 22, we went to Itam market to buy our kits for the orientation exercise.
“November 23, we all departed Uyo to our respective camps, and on December 1, I got the sad news that you’re no more. What a ruthless you world?
“Ikpa, whatever reason that made you leave this world so soon is unfair.
“Why now, but why now? After all the stress and sleepless nights, we went through together for 5 years. You made a First class. You were overall Best in the ’10 engineering class.
You won about four scholarships; you organized free tutorials for junior colleagues and even your own mates.
“I really don’t have words to express how I felt when I heard the news about your untimely demise and I really can’t understand why God allowed this one to happen.
“Brotherly, though you are gone, I know your legacies and the impact you created will forever be remembered.
Rest On Ukeme Monday. It is well. God knows best.”
