in Benue state for the burial of 2face Idibia's father, Pa
Michael Idibia, his widow, Mrs. Rose Idibia was almost
stoned to death on Thursday night after she was attacked by
her late husband's kinsmen at the Amafu community in
Okpokwu LGA of Benue State.
The family members are angry with her for allegedly
stopping him from building them the family house he
promised.
According to The Daily Post, the problem started shortly
after her late husband died and the family invited the four
children to inform them on what to do.
For his quota, 2face was instructed to build a befitting house
where his father and also 'grade' the road leading to Amufu,
their home town from Ojapo for easy access during the
burial – and he promised to fulfil the obligations. As a
matter of fact, he sent in some money and kicked off the
building project and the upgrading of the road immediately,
however, along the line, the projects hit menopause and
family members were left in the dark on what led to the
sudden stoppage.
"When we contacted 2face, he told us he no longer had
money to further the project that he would continue after
his father's burial, but we carried out our investigation and
found that it was his mum, Rose that stopped him from
completing the project.
The mum told him not to waste his money on any building
that he would not come home anytime to stay there, saying
that his uncles would only take over the house once he
completes it," an indigene who craved anonymity told
Dailypost.
Thus, the people resorted on taking the revenge on him and
his mum. As soon as the corpse touched down in Amufu and
the widow alighted, youths in the land began to jeer her,
they threw stones and sticks at her calling her all sort of
names and saying that she is wicked – some mockingly
called her 'Obu Michael' (Michael's husband).
She had to be sneaked into a room by her colleagues from
Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi where she serves as Vice
Principal, Admin.
When all this was happening, 2face Idibia allegedly
remained in his car with two of his kids, Isabella and Olivia.
Explaining her side of the story when the father in charge of
Mt. St. Camel Catholic Church, Ojapo tried settling the case,
Mrs. Idibia blasted her in-laws for being heartless.
"Is it not wickedness that you would call on someone who is
mourning his father to come and start a building project?
When my husband died, they informed my son to come and
build ten bed room flat.
He accepted and promised to do so, with the hope that a
hug amount of money was coming his way.
The building project started almost immediately but stopped
along the line because of finance. So, when they called to
complain why money was no longer coming I called Tuface
and he said because of the Ebola issue, the money he was
expecting could not come that they should hold on till after
the burial.
But his uncle refused that the burial would not hold until
Tuface completes the house. When we finally came home
with the corpse on Thursday, they began to boo me.
Some wanted to kill me by throwing stones and sticks at me
that I stopped Tuface my son from building in his village,"
she explained.
