A man identified as Owie Osadebamen, said gunmen killed his wife, Elizabeth, during the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections in Edo State.
The bereaved husband said his late wife, who was a staunch supporter of Peter Obi was shot dead at her polling unit after voting for the first time.
He stated these while sharing his grief during an interview with the Newsmen.
Can you recall your last moment with her?
When she woke up that morning, she greeted me, did the household chores and moved to her polling unit to cast her vote. She opted to walk, but after talking to her, she decided to mount a motorcycle to the venue. There was no sign to suggest that it could be the last time I would see her when she left home that morning. It was a normal day and I looked forward to her coming back but unfortunately, she was killed that day.
How did the news of her death get to you?
I actually called her in the afternoon of that fateful day but she didn’t take her call. When she called back, she said she had cast her vote and she would be at home later, but she never came back alive. The news got to me between 7.30pm and 8pm that day. I am sure the incident happened before then.
Who notified you about her death?
Someone called one of my late wife’s adopted daughters, who handed over the phone to me. The person said she heard that the polling unit where my wife cast her vote was invaded by those who killed her.
How did you find her corpse?
When I got there (the polling unit), some people were still around and they showed me where her body was. I believed she was alive, so I took her to two hospitals where she was rejected.
Where was she pronounced dead?
I then took her to the Edo Specialist Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Was she alive when you got to the scene of the incident?
To me, she was still alive and that might be due to the fact that it was difficult to come to terms that she was dead. Even when they pronounced her dead at the specialist hospital, I insisted that she was still alive and that they should do something. But they didn’t because they had confirmed that she was dead.
