*It’s a black Thursday for entire students of banking and finance* ???.

With tears of agony, bitterness, the entire students of *NABAFS* mourn the death of their beloved colleague, course mate, friend, sister *Ibeh Kelechi Assumpta* *(Kay cee)* , a 400 level student, soon to be graduate by August, who was shot dead yesterday *21st March* by unknown..

Yesterday happens to be her 23rd birthday celebration.

So unfortunate she weren’t able to celebrate her day to d end.

*NABAFS* most especially the *400 level students* are bitterly wounded, depressed, melancholy, of d exit of their colleague, friend , seat mate, exam partner, etc..

The memory of our just concluded first semester exams still lingers in my mind as if it were yesterday..

In the book of *Ecclesiastes chapter 3.verse 1-8* made us to understand that to everything under d surface of earth there is time, a time to live, a time to die, a time to love, a time to hate.

We can’t question God Almighty, all we ask of You Lord, *accept and may her soul rest in the blossom of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen*

Our *FATHER* who art in heaven, guide and protect the entire students of *NABAFS* , we pray there shall be *no more death* , the labors of our parents shall not be in vain, our life’s will not be terminated here in *IMSU* ….all these we ask through *JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AMEN* .

With tears of melancholy in our eyes, we wish our own *Kay Cee* a farewell. We will surely miss you, and your deeds will forever remain in our heart.

*Adieu Ibeh Kelechi Assumpta* ..

*RIP Kay cee*

On behalf of the entire students of *NABAFS*.
