SAD: Young Nigerian Woman Narrates On Twitter How She Witnessed Her Mum’s Murder On New Year’s Day By Men Of The Underworld
On January 1, 2019, while many homes celebrated and thanked God for preserving their lives to see another year, a particular family was witnessing quite the opposite as the life of the matriarch of their household was snuffed out by men of the underworld.
Taking to Twitter to narrate the harrowing story, @thesimesty recounted the terrifying manner in which her mom was murdered by armed robbers and the effect the situation has had on her family ever since.
Sharing a photo the family had taken a year earlier, she narrated:
“January 1, 2019. I saw my own mother get shot at. I saw her in a pool of her own blood. I saw the armed robbers rough handle my father and all I could do was scream. Under the cover of festivity and firework sounds, my mum was murdered on New Years day.My dad was admitted and so was I. 2019 has started on the worst note ever. My hero and life giver has fallen. The robbers took all working devices in the house and it was too late to call for help. My dad’s birthday was yesterday. I’ve never seen him cry but I did this year.
January 1st can never be a happy day for me anymore. It will always be a reminder of what has been taken from my dad and siblings. This heartbreak is too much for me. It is still like a bad dream. A nightmare”
May the soul of the departed rest in peace, Amen!
