Man recounts how friend was murdered by colleagues in Delta
By Innocent Raphael
A Nigerian man, Israel Joe, has recounted the tragic demise of his friend, Roseline, who lost her life in a horrifying incident in Sapele, Delta State.
According to Joe, Roseline, a caterer, met her untimely end after being forcefully pushed into a boiling pot of fresh pepper and tomatoes by two of her female acquaintances during a trip for a catering job on Saturday, April 13.
In a lengthy Facebook post shared on Friday, Joe disclosed that prior to her death, Roseline had confided in him about experiencing hostility from two of her companions.
Joe’s post read, “She was pushed into a big boiling pot of fresh pepper and tomatoes by her friend on Saturday, 13th April. She battled for about two weeks with her roasted/boiled body and finally ḍíęɗ last week Friday 26th April.
“Nobody in the neighborhood in Otokutu knew Roseline had been allegedly kíIIed by these same friends. She was buried with no one to bid her goodbye and with no single bųríaI poster to honour her. Just two days in the morgue, the mørtųarƴ attendants demanded she be carried away to be buried.
“She traveled with them for a catering job in Sapele where they were speaking their local language with this Yoruba girl, Rozzy, not understanding their conversation.
“All of a sudden, she landed in a very big pot of boiling fresh pepper and tomatoes where they even still delayed in rescuing her. She was later rushed to Sage Hospital by Estate in Warri, where they managed the situation, but my friend couldn’t make it.”
Stating that he was pained that those responsible for her death were still walking free, he further urged the Nigeria Police to launch a thorough investigation into the matter and apprehend those responsible for Roseline’s heinous murder, decrying the lack of progress in the case since the tragic incident occurred.
“What pains me is that these two girls are still walking and gallivanting everywhere like nothing happened. I hate intimidation and oppression, especially against non-indigenous persons. The police must smoke them out so they can face the law. Na God dey help who nor get helper.
“We shall fight for Rozzy. You can not just be kíIIęɗ like a chicken and bųřried like an aŋímąl. Nobody deserves such a hørribIe dęąth. We never got to meet Rose, only chatting on Facebook due to endless busy schedules only to see you, at the most disgusting sight at Sage Hospital, hoping for your recovery, but dęąțĥ stole you Justice shall prevail, including if you would be exhumed,” he added.
