“I have nothing to say, I am grateful to God and for your efforts. I have given God my heart and may God strengthen me. We have nothing to say.
“Because of what happened to me, I will no longer send my children to schools where so much money is involved. Because of her education, the education of some of her siblings suffered as it is so difficult to care for them all at the same time. And, now things are difficult for us,” Mrs Alheri tearfully told the newsmen.
Similarly, Deborah’s father, Mr Emmanuel Garba, a security employee of the Niger State Water Works Cooperation at Tungan-Magajiya, narrated how he carried the remains of her daughter back to be buried.
“When I got there, I met government officials and made them understand the need to allow me take her back home and they agreed with me. When we got to the morgue, those in charge asked me to sign the necessary documents and I did. They released the corpse to me,” he said.
On who paid for the transportation, Garba answered; “I personally paid the sum of N120,000 to the driver out of many that refused to convey her back home and it is because of the condition of the remains. Most drivers we approached all refused except one”.
