UPDATE: I will speak after the burial of my wife— Mr Sonia Bassey

2 mins read

I want to bury my wife and give her that respect.

“My wife is not the first woman that has died in a motor accident. It is quite unfortunate.

“You know that I’m a Christian. We believe that nothing surpasses the knowledge of God.

“Be that as it may, if there were not to be all those write ups and even extra length suggesting that I have been in coma and I’m dead, maybe I would have granted an interview.

“My wife was dead at the time I took her to the hospital, so there is no way she could have granted anybody an interview.

“From the things they wrote, it was as if the person was actually with my wife or my wife had told the person this was what happened.

“To the best of my knowledge, nobody was with my wife in her car, but they were saying things as if my wife had told somebody what happened.

“Be that as it may, as I mentioned earlier, I have chosen to be quiet until I bury my wife. After that I intend to have a press conference.

“Even the two families, my wife’s family and mine, intend to issue a briefing, but they also chose to be quiet at this point.

“So I want to crave your indulgence that you people should respect our space for now, because this is something that can happen to anybody.

“Even as I am, one day, I will also die. I am from Akwa Ibom where we respect the dead.”
