Mrs Aniefiok Otobong Jumbo has accused men of the Nigerian Army Attached to 6th Battalion, Nigerian Army, Ibagwa, Akwa Ibom State, of killing her husband after she refused advances from them.
Her husband, Otobong Jumbo was killed at Uta Ewa waterside, Ikot Abasi LGA on Tuesday, 26/3/2019.
Narrating how it happened, the woman said;
“They asked me to relocate to another point which I obeyed. They continued to point the torchlights on me. At that point I protested, which led to series of arguments.’That particular Soldier has been pestering me for sexual relationship, which I rebuffed, telling him I am a married woman”
Mrs Jumbo said that while the argument lasted, people of the community had gathered to witness what was going on.
Angered by the incident with the woman, two soldiers headed to the residence of the deceased which is within the waterside area and forcefully dragged her husband to the scene of the argument at the waterside.
According to the wife and some eyewitnesses, Mr. Otobong Jumbo was severely beaten, totured and manhandled. He was hit by the soldier with their gun butt which led to his collapsing into the river.
According to eye witnesses “had the soldiers allowed us to rescue him at that point, his life would have been saved. But they didn’t allow”.
It was when the soldiers saw that Otobong was no more moving in the water, they fled the scene.
At this point he was rescued and with the help of the men of NNS Jubilee of the Nigerian Navy who arrived later, the deceased was rushed to the Naval Clinic. After much effort, he was referred to Emmanuel Hospital, Eket. Due to the critical condition he was first taken to Betany Hospital, Ata Udo Usung, Ikot Abasi LGA where the doctors on duty cerfied Mr Otobong Udo Jumbo dead. His corpse was deposited at Ikot Abasi General Hospital Mortuary.
