Known for speaking truth to power, Rev Azzaman rose to prominence through his unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel and confronting injustice. The Forum said his passing leaves a void that may be difficult to fill.
“This is a huge loss to the Christian body,” the statement added. “We are still trying to come to terms with the enormity of this loss. We pray that God grants us strength to bear it and that His will be done.”
CMF extended heartfelt condolences to Rev Azzaman’s immediate family, his church members, and the people of Kaduna State, praying for divine comfort and peace.
“As we mourn the loss of this great man of God, we take solace in the hope that he has gone to a better place. We pray for his eternal rest and peace.”
