It is not as if there was a political rally of one of the popular politician in the state or a traditional marriage or festival. Then the big question is "Why Endless fleets of cars going in and out of Ikyaagba residence both at Makurdi and Vandeikya residence"? "Why different calibers of people men and women, religious and top government officials from various parastatals troop in and out of the compound?"
For those who did not hear or for those who hear but did not hear well and for those who could not see or saw but not as clear as it should be, it was the passing away of a HERO, the final call of LATE PRINCE MANYAM UPURUGH KYAAGBA(JP), the publisher of the popular Newspaper "THE BRIDGE" Newspaper, a well respected Journalist of his time and the biological father of a comrade, a Boss, a father, a writer, and a respected public affairs analyst, a trained computer scientist, NYSC co-ordinator, Fidei Polytechnic, Gboko, COMRADE BUNDE UPURUGH KYAAGBA.
