Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos state, has lost
Haroun, his younger brother, to COVID-19.
It was gathered that the deceased, who was a medical doctor, was 37 years old.
Until his death, he worked at a primary healthcare centre in
Orile Agege local council development area of the state.
In a statement, the Lagos chapter of the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA) said the incident has cast a “dark moment” over the
association.
“We announce with deep regret the death of our very young
colleague, Dr Haroun Hamzat. Its “sunset at dawn” as he was just 37 years old,”
the statement read.
“He worked as a medical officer at one of the PHCs under
Orile Agege LCDA until his demise.
“We commiserate with his immediate family, friends,
associates, colleagues, and staff of Lagos State PHC Board and indeed the medical
fraternity of Lagos State. We pray against such premature deaths in our fold.
“May the Almighty God grant his family and all of us, the
fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss, Amen. Adieu to our Hippocratic
Brother, Dr Haroun Hamzat. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.”
