Ex-Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, loses son
A former Minister for Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has announced the demise of his son Nehemiah Dalung at age 33.
Dalung took to Facebook on Monday to break the news of his son’s death.
He said, “Although Nehemiah’s life ended before we were ready, the time Nehemiah spent in our lives was memorable. Nehemiah Dalung was 33-year-old. He was the son of former Sports & Youth Minister, Solomon Dalung.
“There are no words to express the deep pain and sorrow of losing one’s son at his prime age, but we take consolation in God who gives and takes. May his soul rest in peace.”
This came barely 24 hours after Dalung shared a photo of his son, who lay critically on a hospital bed, as he urged his followers and well-wishers to join him in prayers.
“Kindly include us in your prayers, my son is laying critical on admission in the hospital,” he wrote.
However, on Monday, October 24, the Dalung announced that Nehemiah eventually passed away, although details of the cause were not disclosed.
Dalung, a lawyer and academic, was sports minister from 2015 to 2019. He was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari during the first tenure of his administration.
