Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Martin Masabo, who has been the head teacher of Lyc\u00e9e de Kigali for more than 20 years, passed away Monday, at around 9a.m, close family members have confirmed.<\/p>\n

Masabo, who was living with hypertension, died from Covid-19-related complications. He died at King Faisal Hospital, Kigali where he had been admitted for days.<\/p>\n

Masabo, who was 62, was also living with hypertension. \u201cIt\u2019s, unfortunately, true,\u201d confirmed his wife, Odette Uwamariya. \u201cHe passed on a few hours ago.\u201d Masabo leaves behind a family of three children \u2013 two sons and a daughter \u2013 and his wife, a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n

As the news of his death trickled in, many people, including his former students, took to social media to express their shock and comfort the bereaved family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been close friends since as far back as I can’t even remember,\u201d Fr. Innocent Gatete, the chair of Head Teachers Association, told The New Times.<\/p>\n

Gatete said that just recently the two of them were talking about retirement. \u201cJust a few days back, he was talking to me about his retirement plans, and how gratifying his service had been,\u201d Gatete added.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in Peace sir,\u201d Sam Asiimwe Ruhindi eulogised his former headteacher through a Twitter post. \u201cYou shaped us, Lycee de Kigali won’t be the same without you.\u201d Another social media user identified as Christian Manzi tweeted, \u201cWe will forever be grateful for his crucial role in some of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
