“Some said my husband ran away, that is not true, my husband never ran anywhere. All this that is happening is just a test of our faith as believers.

“All that is hidden is glaring before the almighty, but before I say anything, I must say that I really sympathize with the family of the deceased, but those peddling lies about my husband are only being pained by the unfortunate incident but in all, I really really sympathize with the family of the deceased especially his wife.”
