Prominent amongst dignitaries at the funeral service of late Pa Kwaghngu Atebawa was the Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom who testified that he witnessed the elder give his life to Christ and urged those present to follow the same path while still opportuned.

Senior special assistant to the Governor on special duties Abrahams Kwaghngu the eleventh child of the deceased appreciated the show of solidarity and fondly remembered his father.

On the 11th October, the late Pa Kwaghngu Atebawa passed on after a protracted illness at the age of a hundred and seven.
