A co participant with the deceased Auxiria Mwanza,,  from Zambia shared this heart breaking news on her Facebook page  and below is how she narrated the story.

A sad and heart breaking tragedy has befallen the YALI- Mandela Washington fellowship 2016 cohort; as a rising star, a dear fellow from Nigeria lost his life. As the rumor of his death spread from campus to campus, we all mourned as much as we hoped the news was not true. upon hearing a confirmed communicate of his death am moved to say, its indeed the worst that can happen and as a christian am reminded to say we all live on a borrowed life timeline and that we are to never take anything for granted, also we should never forget the almighty has a plan for all, even in this tragedy lets thank the almighty for his life journey (John Paul usman -the Nigerian Fellow),lets thank him for our life and stand in prayer with the family asking God to give them the strength and grace to instead celebrated his departed life.
I FINISH THIS POST WITH HIS LAST WORDS AND POST ON FACEBOOK
"Lessons learnt so far from the MWF 2016..."leaders must learn to take calculated risk"
