The remains of late Chief Christopher Chiedozie, have been laid to

Government Area.

Late Chief Christopher Chiedozie aged ninety-five was a devoted

works of the deceased.

Delivering a sermon during a burial service in honour of the deceased at Saint Peters Anglican
Church Amawbia, the Anglican Bishop of Awka Diocese, Right Reverend
Alexander Ibezim reminded Christians of inevitability of death for all
mortals and appealed to parents to work assiduously to raise great
leaders for the country by inculcating moral values in their children
for greater tomorrow.

the development of youths, and an education icon
whose life was exemplary.

beings without discrimination and encouraged his children to live in
peace as one family, while praying that God will give them the fortitude
to bear the irreparable loss.

Chiedozie, described their late father as a disciplinarian who lived
meritoriously and expressed gratitude of the entire family to those
who contributed in giving their late father a befitting burial ,assuring
that they will live by the legacies of their father, and prayed God to
rest his soul in perfect peace.
