Evelyn Asiayei, widow of Bayelsa driver, Banalayefa Asiayei, speaks to an online medium on the circumstances surrounding her husband’s death.
No, because the government has not said anything. They are the ones who are supposed to give him a befitting burial.
It’s been over a month since your husband’s death. How has it been for you?
It has not been easy. He was a good father and husband. For the three children I gave birth to, I don’t know how much they sell diapers because he buys them. I’m a woman, but I’ve never gone to the market to purchase diapers any day. I don’t know how much they sell the toothpaste I use or the soap I use to bathe, because my husband buys everything. He just wanted me to tell him when it was about to finish, not when it was finished. For the one month that I’ve carried expenses, I know how expensive these things are. Right now, our rent is expired. Feeding, school fees, and shop rents are still there. A lot of things are just going through my mind right now. It was when my husband died that I realised how much we used to spend on food. My husband didn’t allow us to go hungry. With the little he had, he cared for his family. It has not been easy. I’m wondering where I will start with the fees. School is closing in two weeks, and the first term will resume again. I’ll be talking about N200,000 to N300,000 plus for school fees, books, and everything for three children. My head is full. Every day I think and calculate. Now I know why he always calculated and wrote down things he wanted to do. When he did them, he ticked them off. He didn’t like stressing himself or putting himself under pressure.
How old are your children? How are they coping with the death of their father?
The first is just six years old, the second is four, and the last is two. I have two girls and one boy. They have been asking for their father. A few days ago, they told me to ask Daddy to come and paint the house. They don’t know their father is dead. I tell them that he’s in Canada. So when they make requests concerning their father, I ask them to say it and assure them that he’d hear them in his Canada house. They asked me if he had a phone, and I told them I was using his phone but he was yet to buy a phone in Canada. That’s what I told them. So whenever they want to talk, I say, “Speak, Daddy will hear you.” On Father’s Day, they asked me to call their dad so they could wish him a happy Father’s Day. I just told them to say what they wanted to say and their daddy would hear them in Canada.
How have you been getting support?
My in-laws, family, and friends support me. That’s where I’ve been getting support from. It has not been easy.
What are your expectations from the government regarding your husband’s case?
I want the government to give my children a scholarship and offer us financial support. I need a government job. I work in a private school and they only pay you for the month you work. They don’t pay you for holidays. For the policeman who did this, justice should be served. He deserves his punishment. He should be punished for that. He cannot just go scot-free like that for taking someone’s life. The governor went on air to say that he would handle the issue and that people don’t need to protest.
Do you believe that the issue will be handled as the governor promised?
I believe so. We all agree that when you say something, you should be able to keep your word. That’s it. So I trust he would since he has come out to say it on air. So let’s wait for him to keep his word.

Teenage girl allegedly stabbed parents to de@th, stabbed family dog, sent crime scene photos to friends
A 15-year-old girl from Groningen in the Netherlands was arrested after her parents, Johan and Mathilda, both 53, were found f@tally stabbed last Thursday, June 18, Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad reported.
The family’s pet golden retriever also suffered stab wounds in the rampage, the Sun reported.
The dog’s condition is unclear.
The girl took images of her slain parents and then shared the disturbing photos with her friends on WhatsApp after the bloody attack, the Telegraaf reported.
“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student told the outlet in Dutch.
Local police declined to comment further on the images, but encouraged people to never distribute such images online and report them to the police, the reports said.
The girl reportedly struggled with her identity and often pretended to be a dog, crawling around and barking on all fours with other friends in school corridors.
“She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves,” another classmate told the outlet. “And sometimes she would make barking sounds.”
Johan and Mathilda’s relatives said in a statement obtained by Algemeen Dagblad that they “can hardly comprehend” the murd£rs.
‘We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad,” family and friends said in a statement through an aid organization.
“But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming.”
An investigation into the slayings remains ongoing.

OGTV broadcaster: Police recover stolen Lexus RX300 as CP vows “no stone unturned” in murder probe
Ogun State Police Command says it has recovered the Lexus RX300 stolen from the home of slain ex-OGTV broadcaster Mrs Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba.
The recovery happened during night operations, the command confirmed Monday.
—CP walks the scene himself—
Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni visited the crime scene for an on-the-spot assessment. He inspected the premises and got briefings from detectives handling the case.
“CP Ojajuni reiterated the Command’s resolve to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensuring that those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice,” Police PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement.
The visit, according to police, was to evaluate progress in the investigation into the double murder that has rattled the Owode-Egba community.
—What happened that night—
PUNCH Online had reported that a resident raised the alarm over suspicious movements around Oyesiku’s residence. When operatives arrived, they found signs of forced entry.
Inside, the security guard was found dead at his post. Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside the apartment. Her Lexus RX300 was missing.
Police now say the vehicle has been secured and will serve as key evidence. “It is worthy of note that the vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” Babaseyi confirmed.
—“Intensive investigation ongoing”–
Ojajuni commiserated with Oyesiku’s family and assured Ogun residents that “all available resources are being deployed to track down the perpetrators.”
For now, no arrests have been announced. But with the car recovered and the CP personally monitoring the case, police say they’re closing in.
Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster with Ogun State Television, was remembered by colleagues as a calm voice on air. Her death, alongside her guard’s, has renewed calls for better security for elderly residents living alone in semi-urban areas. [The Punch report rewritten]
