Akase said that Ortom described the deceased as a woman of great virtue, whose son had made indelible contributions to the development of his state, in particular, and the country at large.
Ortom said that losing a loved one such as a parent could be a devastating experience, no matter how long the person lived on earth.
The former Benue governor also prayed that God should grant the late Mrs Duke eternal rest, as well as her family the fortitude to bear the loss.
