I've known John Ndebugre for more than a decade. He was like a dad. Just a month ago, his sons came to my office and we all spoke to him on the phone from his base in Zebilla. He was one of the smartest and controversial lawyer/politician I've encountered and interviewed… pic.twitter.com/6ZwPY9b7Vy
