Minister of Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe, told the ministers that Azazi left a 90-year-old mother behind.
The disclosure drew fresh tears from the eyes of council members.
He described the day of the crash as a sad one, adding that he could not organise himself for two nights because of the incident.
Orubebe said, “I met his 90-year old mother who practically carried me on her lap and told me stories of my family. Saturday was a sad evening. For two nights, I could not organise myself. He was a fine soldier. He was a friend of all. He loved everybody and was there for everybody. A great man we have lost.
“He will be remembered for the roles he played to persuade former Niger Delta militants to drop arms. We pray that God should send a comforter to comfort his aged mother and wife and all those left behind.
“I met Yakowa in 2010. He will be remembered for the role he played in Kaduna and the North. He was a man of the people. God will comfort his beloved wife. We are consoled by the fact that God is never taken unawares. Death is an inevitable end. God knows why it happened in that way and that time and why it was them.”
