Barely few days after judiciary staff of Kogi State resumed
duty from their 5-month old industrial dispute with the state government, the
Magistrate court II, Lokoja was thrown into mourning mood on Thursday, as it
lost one of its dedicated staff, Mrs. Fatimah Noah, to the cold hands of death.
It was gathered that Mrs. Noah, a widow, popularly known as
Mama Danlandi in her working place, slumped and died around 8.pm on Thursday in
her residence in Lokoja, over a yet-to-be-established illness.
An eyewitness said she resumed work on Monday with her
colleagues, as JUSUN called off the strike action, after National Judicial
Council (NJC) resolved the trade disputes between the judiciary and Kogi State
Government; and has been consistently be on duty without complain of any form
of medical complication.
According to a colleague of hers, the late Mama Danladi was
seen on duty on Thursday without betraying any emotion of a sickness or any
form of discomfort in or around her, until she closed and left for home.
“Mama Danladi who had not taken salaries for the past a year and a widow with children in tertiary institutions was said to have
scouted for just #20,000 three days ago to address the pressing need of one of her
sons in the school without success”, the source stressed.
The source added that the non-payment of salaries of the
workers by the government since resumption from the strike is causing uneasiness
among the concerned workers.
While speaking to journalists, most of her colleagues at her
working place extolled her sense of humour, and said they have lost a rare gem
whose dedication to work endeared her to the high and the low at her place of
work.
The remains of late mama Danladi, who was born on November
18, 1973 and died may 2019 has been taken to Idah, her country home on Friday,
and buried according to Islamic rites.
