The funeral was not only a point of convergence for love ones and friends who came to bid farewell to Mama Madeleine farewell, but it a was also an arena for members of government to commune with the Tchoffo's Familly.
Despite security challenges, Mayors, NW Regional delegates including other personalities within the West region and beyond, travelled to Babadjou to mourn with the bereaved familly.
Mass was said in honor of Mama Lagmago Madeleine, mother of NW Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique at the familly residence. Gospel was drawn from Mathew 25: 31-46 to remind mourners about man's frailty while their journey on earth and the need to work towards eternal life.

"I militated in different schools of thought that didn't have the believe in God, untill I wondered if I will ever mourn my mum. But one day God caught me at the age of me being a Governor and brought me close to his side".
"Mama was a royal woman, a woman who moved mountains. All thanks to the the religious corps, the medical team, that did their best for my mum, she will travel to the world beyond with smiles on to sit beside our Dad who is waiting to recieve her in the world beyond" NW Governor, Adolphe Lele Lafrique.
Ok
It wasn't just an occassion to mourn or condole with the Tchoffo's Familly but an opportunity to witness traditional rites done in the West region of Cameroon.
