Mrs Favour Ayuba, currently a bundle of grief, having lost her son in the hands of suspected terrorists in Jos, Plateau State does not wish to just mourn. She has in addition, charged her late son to avenge his death, a viral video has shown.
Charging the dead, she said: “If you want me to forget, baby, avenge your death. I carried you in my womb for nine months; you suckled at my breast. Baby, I trust you revenge for me, revenge for me. Please, wherever they are, follow them and avenge your death.”
Initial report quotes the woman as having not eaten since the Palm Sunday terror attack. 
A viral video clip of her clinging to the lifeless body of her son amidst weeping completes the sad tale of a people under enemy siege.
Charging the dead, she said: “If you want me to forget, baby, avenge your death. I carried you in my womb for nine months; you suckled at my breast. Baby, I trust you revenge for me, revenge for me. Please, wherever they are, follow them and avenge your death.”
Speaking amid intermittent sobbing in the background of the video, Mrs Ayuba made reference to the biblical story of Gideon, who went to war and returned victorious.
“Today (Thursday) is your birthday. I am grateful to God that today is your birthday, baby. You don’t like seeing me in tears, and I will not weep for you. Baby, I have not eaten since Sunday.
“I am begging you, because you have not warmed food for me to eat, but from today I promise you I will eat. I have a gift for you, baby. I trust you; I named you Promise Gideon Ayuba. Gideon in the Bible went to war and came back victorious,” she added in the report excerpted from Vanguard.
