As the family of Ronald Mutum begin his burial rites today with a wake keep at his residence in Kubwa, the Chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, SAN, the Board, and Management of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) have expressed shock over the news of his death.

In a statement signed by Mrs. Azuka Ogugua the spokesperson of ICPC, she said that Mr. Ronald Mutum, was for several years one of the most dependable journalists covering ICPC activities.

During his long years of reporting the Commission, Ronald exhibited a high sense of professionalism and integrity in reporting only facts and truths. He was always willing to attend every activity and programme of the Commission to which he was invited.

His untimely demise is a great loss to the media profession, and he will be missed by all of us in the Commission. Our condolences, therefore, go to Mutum’s family, colleagues, and friends. We pray God to strengthen and provide them solace during this time of grief and mourning.

May God grant Ronald Mutum’s soul eternal peace.
