Ronke’s brother and the second born of the family (pictured), died in a ghastly motor accident in Abuja. Bolatito, who is the first born, is the surviving child of three children.
Their mother had been a widow since they were all little and she has lost two of three children in less than one year.

She said, “My mother just arrived from Ilorin and the family wants to devote time to attend to her; we don’t want to talk about the incident. I am not in the right frame of mind to talk.
She said, “Mummy is very sad with this, but she has forgiven him and does not want him to commit suicide.”
A family source told Punch Metro that the domestic violence had been on for some time, saying at a point, the matter was reported at a police station. He said the suspect always accused his wife of extra-marital affair.
He said, “He always beat her because of his belief that she was into an extra-marital affair. The beating reduced a bit when the wife of her late brother who was one month pregnant before his death, moved into the house with them. She stayed for about eight months. She was like her saviour.”
The Convener of the Women Arise for Change Initiative, Mrs. Joe Odumakin, while condoling with the family, said the group would pursue the case till the end.
