I’m still in a trance, numbed into some auditory hallucination, virtually unable to reconcile myself to the fact that the curtains had indeed fallen for Yinka Odumakin and Innocent Chukwuma, two leaders of civil society who bit the dust at the dawn of Easter. For the first time, I was really restrained in heralding the Easter on the house tops when two of our most brilliant and resourceful fighting forces had taken leave in a spate of few hours.
