admin

Son of the mother of five, Roseline Sougie, who was allegedly killed last Friday by her jobless husband, Jafaru Sougie, in the Oshodi area of Lagos after 26 years of marriage (read here) has shared his ordeal, revealing he often forgets his mum is dead.

According to Punch, the boy, Collins, who is the deceased’s second child, said during her wake on Thursday,

“Seven days without my mum has been like seven days without food or water. Unconsciously, I call mummy but realising later that mummy has died leaves me almost completely lifeless. Mummy, all of us will miss you because you were the only one taking care of us and love us so much. Sleep on at the bosom of the Lord.”

Jafaru had reportedly slit the deceased’s throat with a knife around 2 am and was caught attempting suicide about the time her dead body was found. He is now in custody of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department.

The deceased’s sister, Mrs. Philomena Shaibu revealed Jafaru had attempted to suffocate the mother of five in 2015 while she was asleep out of anger.
