In his post, Akposheri recalled spending time with Offor recently, which made the loss all the more poignant. “Today, my heart is heavy. Davis Offor, fondly known as Clarus from New Masquerade, is gone,” he wrote. He reflected on the moments they shared celebrating the New Year together, filled with laughter, memories, and hopeful discussions about the future.
