Thank you Haroun MQDT and Suntou for the kind words. Rambo was a darling to
everyone who knew him and he is missed by all who came in contact with him
somehow. He is a decent socialite who inspired many youth in Bakau. He is
the proverbial light in the room so to say. I know many who know him will
agree. Let us all keep him in our prayers for his well being and do the
little we can to secure his immediate release. Thanks,

-BambaLaye
