Family of the late Pius Oladele, the only dead victim of the Monday Festac bombing, has
lambasted the police for attributing his death to electrical fault. They maintained that Pius was assassinated, contrary to police report.
24 hours after the explosion that rocked the bridge, linking Festac Town to Amuwo Odofin Housing Estate, DailyPost rushed to the victim's family house at Lake View Estate to console with the family and to find out the real cause of his death.
How do you ask a bereaved woman to recall the life and times of her recently dead husband, especially in a manner that Ben left her? For all intent and purpose, it is like torturing an already traumatized woman.
She was lying in coma, trying to recover from the shock, struggling to bring herself back to reality that her breadwinner and husband was no more.
One of the family members begged, "Please, if you are from the media, don't waste your time, she has been in coma for hours now and she's gradually recovering. I advise you to go and find your news elsewhere."
"What else do you want to hear? Pius has been killed and that is all," he said. "Shebi police say na electrical spark kill am?"
