“He was someone who made me feel hopeful about living in this world,” said Gahima. “He really honestly and truly embodied everything that was good in this world.”

“Everything you do everywhere you go you have to be cautious because the devil has many faces,” Jallow’s friend Otis Brobbey said. “People will provoke you, people will tempt you, you just got to be calm you have to just be calm.”
