According to sources who were present in Benue
state for the burial of 2face Idibia’s father, Pa
Michael Idibia, his widow, Mrs. Rose Idibia was
almost stoned to death on Thursday night after
she was attacked by her late husband’s
kinsmen at the Amafu community in Okpokwu
LGA of Benue State. Read the sad story below:The
family members are angry with her for allegedly
stopping from from building them the family
house he promised.According to The Daily Post,
the problem started shortly after her late
husband died and the family invited the four
children to inform them on what to do.
For his quota, 2face was instructed to build a
befitting house where his father and also ‘grade’
the road leading to Amufu, their home town
from Ojapo for easy access during the burial –
and he promised to fulfil the obligations.
As a matter of fact, he sent in some money and
kicked off the building project and the
upgrading of the road immediately, however,
along the line, the projects hit menopause and
family members were left in the dark on what
led to the sudden stoppage.
“When we contacted 2face, he told us he no
longer had money to further the project that he
would continue after his father’s burial, but we
carried out our investigation and found that it
was his mum, Rose that stopped him from
completing the project. The mum told him not to
waste his money on any building that he would
not come home anytime to stay there, saying
that his uncles would only take over the house
once he completes it,” an indigene who craved
anonymity toldDailypost. Thus, the people
resorted on taking the revenge on him and his
mum.
As soon as the corpse touched down in Amufu
and the widow alighted, youths in the land
began to jeer her, they threw stones and sticks at
her calling her all sort of names and saying
that she is wicked – some mockingly called her
‘Obu Michael’ (Michael’s husband).
She had to be sneaked into a room by her
colleagues from Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi
where she serves as Vice Principal, Admin. When
all this was happening, 2face Idibia allegedly
remained in his car with two of his kids,
Isabella and Olivia.
Explaining her side of the story when the father
in charge of Mt. St. Camel Catholic Church,
Ojapo tried settling the case, Mrs. Idibia blasted
her in-laws for being heartless.
“Is it not wickedness that you would call on
someone who is mourning his father to come
and start a building project? When my
husband died, they informed my son to come
and build ten bed room flat. He accepted and
promised to do so, with the hope that a hug
amount of money was coming his way. The
building project started almost immediately but
stopped along the line because of finance. So,
when they called to complain why money was
no longer coming I called Tuface and he said
because of the Ebola issue, the money he was
expecting could not come that they should hold
on till after the burial. But his uncle refused that
the burial would not hold until Tuface completes
the house. When we finally came home with the
corpse on Thursday, they began to boo me. Some
wanted to kill me by throwing stones and sticks
at me that I stopped Tuface my son from
building in his village,” she explained.
