Rest in peace our great son Nkwerre people mourn you.

Nnabueze Attamah added: "They never degraded them, they never
defeated them, either technically, terribly or otherwise, they were just
lying to us as usual, they believe we are fools; we accept anything."""
The 'spirit' of humanitarianism is a strong one.
In the face of death, a humanitarian aid worker still thinks about the people in need, the courage never dies.
Dr. Anthony Onyedikachi Izuogu,( Dr. Kachi), was a true
humanitarian aid worker who believed that as long as there are people in
need, help must be rendered, nothing stops it. While fulfilling this
believe, he paid the supreme price, he died in active service to
humanity. He is a hero.
Over forty thousand people in Rann, Kalabalge LGA, Borno State
depend entirely on Aid workers. There is a clear picture of people in
need in this poor town and this prompted Dr. Kachi to work as an Aid
worker with UNICEF in this town. On this course of service, he was
killed by the 'defeated' Boko Haram along side other aid workers and
soldiers.

Dr. Kachi was a humble confrère, a gentle man to the core, a brother and a man of God.
FECAMDS Unimaid will never forget your time of presidency,
The entire UNICEF staff in Borno State will miss you.
Your family will miss you.
We will miss you.
I will miss you.
I promise you that as long as there are people in need, help must be provided, the spirit will never die in us. God is with us.
Rest in peace, Bro Kachi.
Till we meet to part no more."
Uche Victor post read: "I can't stop crying ever since I heard
the news of your death; you were younger cousin in whom I found humility
displayed, the last time we met and lived together was in 2004 in Port
Harcourt when I came for my IT. You were very closed to God, whenever I
see you, I see Christ in everything you do, even when things were tough
and rough, Onyedi you made it to the medical school. See how we lost you
to Boko haram, I love you brother, but God loves you better. Rest in
peace, Dr. Anthony Onyedikachi Izuogu!"
