It is a time of mourning in the family of former BBNaija housemate, Joe Abdallah. The young man recently revealed to fans that he has lost his father.

In a touching Instagram post, Joe penned down an emotional note to eulogise his late father, Alfred, as he passed on at the age of 69.

Joe wrote:

“My Father, Alfred Sang songs to us kids Cracked jokes till we were at ease Never allowed chaos Never angry ever But smiled forever.

“I am glad you buried no child I am glad we made you proud I am glad you were always happy As I am so sad you left early.”

May your beautiful soul rest. #RIP .
