I want my husband back dead or alive – Wife of Lagos cop‘killed’ by militants
Acting Inspector General of
Police, Ibrahim Idris
|
In Owutu area of Ikorodu, an area of Lagos where the activities of militants make the daily duty of policemen a matter of life and death, Iyabo said she always said a silent word of prayer for Haruna whenever he left the house for work at the Owutu Police Division.
But her worst nightmare came true that Saturday when words
filtered in that her husband, who had left for his overnight patrol ,had gone
missing after his team was attacked by a group of militants.
It has been two months since Haruna went missing, but
Iyabo, his wife of 13 years has never been invited by police authorities or
given any official explanation about what might have happened to her husband.
Iyabo, a nurse, said her last two children – a set of
twins – celebrated their first year birthday just a few days before their
father went missing.
“When my husband went missing, anytime I went to his
station to try and get any information, his superiors would hide from me. I was
desperate, I just needed information, any information that could show they are
making any kind of effort to find him, but it was like they have forgotten
about him, Iyabo told our correspondent.
