Alhaji Fatai Suleiman, the bereaved husband of Late Selimota Suleiman, Principal Accountant of the Nigerian Television Authority, Channel Five, Abuja has spoken up regarding the incident. It was earlier reported that the deceased, Late Selimota Suleiman had died from a ghastly accident involving a collision between a moving train and her personal car while she was attempting to cross the railway last Thursday in the Kubwa Area of Abuja.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with Punch News, the bereaved husband spoke about his relationship with the deceased, how he got to know about the unfortunate incident, the kind of person the deceased was and other things to know about the deceased. <\/p>\n
On the fateful day of the incident, the bereaved husband narrated that, he was lying down on a coach in the living room while his wife prepared for work. He said, \u2018I looked at her and called her Mrs Suleiman. As I didn\u2019t intend going to my office that day, I told her to please bring something from her office when returning. She looked at me and laughed and she left\u2019.<\/p>\n
He continued that after his wife left the house, he quickly went to his friend\u2019s house to pick up something. While at his friend\u2019s house, his friend\u2019s wife ran into the house and broke the news. She wasn\u2019t certain if it was Selimota\u2019s car or not but she told them about the accident and they all rushed to the scene.<\/p>\n
He said when he got to the scene, he was unable to confirm if it was his wife or not, as security personnel prohibited anyone from getting close to the accident scene. He however confirmed later when someone called his wife\u2019s brother with his wife\u2019s number and told him that his wife had sustained an injury.<\/p>\n
By the time her body was recovered, she had given up the ghost completely, he noted. Hence, she was buried the same day following Islamic rites.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the report that some eyewitnesses brought out phones to make video of the incident, the bereaved husband said he doesn\u2019t want to see the video. He wonders why people\u2019s instinct was to record a vulnerable person who was struggling to eschew calamity rather than to lend a helping hand to her.<\/p>\n
\u2018I heard that somebody somewhere was making a video of the incident, which I refused to watch till today and I will never watch it. According to those that watched the video, they said my wife trying to open the door to come out.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018The video wouldn\u2019t have been more than one or two minutes long. I wonder why such a person was doing that instead of helping a fellow human being. I thought that person would have probably assisted instead of making a video\u2019.<\/p>\n
He added that passersby only started rendering help after the calamity had occurred. \u2018After the calamity had occurred, that was when people were struggling to get to the scene.\u2019 \u2013he noted.<\/p>\n
