The atmosphere yesterday at the Woodfield Estate, Jabi-Abuja home of late DIG John Haruna was one of gloom and despair as sympathisers from all walks of life trooped there to console the widow of the departed officer, Mrs. Olayinka Haruna.
When Saturday Vanguard visited, groups of sympathisers hovered around the vicinity, some wailing while others wondered in hushed tones why such a fine officer as late Haruna was cut in his prime.
A peep at two condolence registers opened for sympathisers to pen their grief and condolences revealed that eminent Nigerians including Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade and former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani were among early callers at the Harunas.
Sympathisers also included past DIGs Operations of the police force and late Haruna's predecessors, John Amodu and Audu Abubakar, as well as a host of the rank and file of the Nigeria Police Force.
Sympathisers took turns to console Mrs. Haruna, while other groups engaged her and the entire family in singing and prayer sessions, offering scriptures of consolation from the Holy Bible.
