Josephine Okereke, the wife of the newspaper vendor shot and
killed by a Department of State Services operative attached to the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has disowned her husband’s
family over their demand for N500m compensation.
Josephine spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.
The family of Ifeanyichukwu Okereke had written to
Gbajabiamila, demanding N500m.
Lawyer to the family, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), in a letter
dated November 23, 2020, said he was given the mandate to write the letter by
the father of the deceased, Okorie Okereke; and the younger brother to the
deceased, Destiny Okereke.
The DSS had last week arrested the operative, Abdullahi
Hassan, who shot Okereke while Gbajabiamila had also visited the family of the
deceased and promised to ensure that they do not suffer.
However, the family demanded more, adding that nothing could
bring the dead vendor back to life.
The widow, however, said she was not aware of the
pre-litigation process, urging the Speaker to ignore the family fulfil his
promises to her and her two children.
