Zacharias said the late Attah was a man of peace who devoted his life and reign to the unity, progress and development of not only his people, the Igala kingdom, but also the state and country at large.
The statement adds that, his recent courtesy call on the Minister of Power to lobby that Kogi East be connected to the national grid was one of his display of love for the Igala people.

He prayed that the lord will give him and his family, the Igala Kingdom the fortitude to bear the loss and that his soul will continue to rest in peace.
