He is said to be a native of Baddibu. Baba Karamo Trerra whose family lives in Latrikunda Nyiringanya is also said to be missing. Baba who has been working there for twelve years was said to have been on the 97th floor of the second trade tower. His American wife Sharon writing to Musa Leigh Karamo's most trusted friend said her husband had called her to say he was trapped inside the building and that was the last she had heard from him. However, more than a week after both towers crumbled to the ground Sharon and Musa remain hopeful that some miracle might happen. In one of the deluge of email messages to Musa,Sharon had stated that her husband was strong and capable of surviving the crisis.
