The three days Fidau prayers of late Chief Sufiyanu Charlton Mogaji, the Samali of Auchi Sacred Kingdom who passed on in the late hours of Sunday the 12th of January 2020 has been held in his residence in Auchi on Wednesday.

The event saw the presence of the who-is-who in the scheme of things in and around the cosmopolitan town of Auchi despite the celebration of the National Armed Forces Day and the marking of 50years after the civil war in Nigeria. Prayers were said for the acceptance of his soul by Allah in view of his many achievements in the area of philanthropy and services to humanity.

Prominent amongst the attendees were the Otaru of Auchi, Ex Etsako West LG Boss, Alhaji Yakson, Alhaji Abubakar Akokhia the Etsako west APC chairman, Prince Suleman Momoh (NAHCOM) and a host of traditional rulers, Daudus, Imams, those in the field of Academics, finance, Commerce and Industry, and so on.

“The candle light has gone off. Auchi Sacred kingdom has lost a great son Chief Otunba Sufuyanu Usman Mogaji (CHALTON) the Samari of Auchi Sacred Kingdom. Until his death he was a business man, community developer with strong passion for humanitarian activities…we love you but Allah loves you best. Rest on till the day of resurrection.” Said his Nephew Mr. Yekini Sadoh of the Federal Polytechnic Auchi on his facebook timeline.

Sadoh also stated that the good deeds of the late chief and son of the Igbei community of Auchi had earned him the honor of the Otaru who ordered that his corpse be brought to the Palace for final rites. A gesture which was justified by the multitude of people who were at the scene to offer the Janaza (Muslim Prayer for the dead before burial) and to take to his final resting place, Chief Charlton.

“What a honor… The positive testimonies by persons on how you touched their lives in one way or the other are surely going to count for you on the day of resurrection. Adieu my great uncle. The multitude of persons in your funeral is a testimony of lots of things” he said.
