It's so disheartening to believe my uncle; CSP KAZEEM Abonde is truly dead. It's hard to bear but it's a reality we have to accept.
I want to plead to you and the whole nation to help call on the government to fill the gap his sacrifice and death have created. His wife is currently lost in thought of the huge and powerful responsibilities on her shoulder, his first child and daughter are there thinking about how her ambition to become a lawyer will not be dashed; she's worried and concerned about who is now going to shoulder the expenses to finish her education at Àjàyí Crowther University, Oyo. Lawyer Kazeem Abonde's second child and daughter is also worried and concerned about her ambition to become a successful Nurse being a nursing student at Osun State University, Osogbo; this young girl is lost in thought and wondering who's going to fill this gap. His first son is just an SS3 student writing WAEC; he has applied to the Nigerian Police Academy to study Computer Science... Will this young boy sufficiently get access to the expenses and all required to start and end this journey?. Moreso, what do we do as regards the remaining two sons the deceased left behind; who are just in their junior secondary school?..
Late CSP and Lawyer KAZEEM ABONDE strive hard in life all because of his children and his family; immediate and distant. Should all these years of his effort which led to his sacrifice for this nation be in vain?
I call on the government to please for God's sake appreciate and reward this late chief officer, who died mediating for peace, by looking into the affairs of the family he left behind.
May you not ever be in this sad condition I and other family members are currently in now. May you reap the benefits of your labor. Thanks.
