In his post, Frankline wrote:
“God, why! ODIRA, why leave us… The call I received now was not a good one. #Odiegwu.”

He added in another post:
“You were full of life just hours ago in South Africa, and you even had your thanksgiving service a few months ago. Many people came to celebrate with you. How can you return from South Africa lifeless? Honestly, I am drowning in tears. Death is rude. I am heartbroken.”
