Two young widows whose husband, Azuka Sunday, was allegedly killed in 2024 have begged Governor Monday Okpebholo to intervene the prosecution of his alleged killers.

The widows, Joy Friday, aged 28 and Favour Azuka, aged 34, said the bodies of their husband and two of his friends were yet to be found.

They said their husband was invited for a job in Obagie community in Oredo local government area and was never seen again.

The widows spoke when they led a peaceful protest to the premises of the Edo State of the Nigeria Union of Journalists and called for investigation into their husband’s death.

Joy said their children have stopped schooling.

She said they were offered money to keep quiet but declined collecting the money.

“Our husband, Azuka Sunday, went to Obagie community to work in 2024. They said he was killed but we are still looking for his body.

“We heard that somebody in government is trying to secure release of the suspect fingered in the killing of our husband.”

Favour said the suspect sent N500,000 to cater for the children but the money was rejected.

She said they want the remains of their husband to be found and the killers prosecuted.(The Nation)
