The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Lagos Chapter commiserates with the Director General, Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC), Mr. Oluwatoyin Gafaar over the demise of his mother, Madam Awawu Gafaar.

Lagos SWAN Chairman, Mr. Debo Oshundun, in a statement on Saturday prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, just as he said members of the association’s thoughts and prayers are with the entire Gafaar family.

Oshundun also prayed with the LSSC Director General and the entire family to have the fortitude to bare the irreparable loss.

“Lagos SWAN urged the Gafaar family to accept our condolences over Mama’s death. We believe she is gone to rest with her maker.

“Though, no matter how old our parents are, we still don’t wish to lose them, but we cannot question the Almighty Allah because He gives and He takes.

“However, our prayer is for Almighty Allah to grant her Aljanah Fridau and may her gentle soul rest in perfect peace,” Oshundun prayed.

Madam Awawu Gafaar also known as Iya Ijebu aged 94 breathed her last after a brief illness on Friday.

She will be interred today according Muslim rites.
