Others who spoke at the prayer session includes the President of Auchi Allied Association Worldwide, Dr Shittu Shaibu.

Late Engr Momoh was the pioneer Governor, Abuja branch of the association.
Dr Shittu said, "For me as a person, they were lectures on how life should be lived and I thank Allah for the opportunity to learn those lessons. Wahappy lived. He lived a life worthy of emulation. He is being remembered for the lives he touched not for the wealth he accumulated. May Allah SWT forgive all his shortcomings and admit him into Aljanatul Firdaus."

The President of Auchi Allied Association, Dr Shittu Shaibu, who led the body  to condole with the widow of the late Engr Bello and also presented to her a token of support to family in line with the  association's modus operadi.

The current Ameer of Afenmai Islamic movement, Mallam Ismeal Danesi, corroborated what others said about the last Islamic propagator, stressing his commitment and zeal was unparalleled. 

Late Engr Momoh died on Saturday, February 27th, after a brief illness and was buried in Auchi in  accordance with moslem rites.
