Death Is Inevitable – Husband Of Woman Shot Dead During Festac Robbery Speaks

Peter Ndirika, a 42-year old Evangelist with the Lord’s Chosen Church was one of the unfortunate Lagosians of the 2-hour robbery that held Festac bound on Tuesday, as he lost two of his family members; his wife and his young daughter.

Ndirika’s wife and daughter were shot dead by stray bullets that hit them right inside their home. Ndirika returned to meet the corpses of his wife and daughter and said he has left everything to God. He described his wife as a woman with good heart who loved and care for everyone and he knows she will make heaven.

    “My wife worked for humanity. She was always out to make people happy, especially the less privileged. She was a loving companion.  But we don’t have to blame anyone, even  God who allowed it to happen because I believe there’s nothing that will happen in this world without God’s permission. Rather, we should  all learn from what has happened. I know that my late wife and little daughter are in heaven.  And to all of us that are still living today, we will meet her someday because death is inevitable.

    He continued; ‘’What matters most is where you are going to spend your eternity at the end of this life and I am confident that she will make heaven. So, the opportunity that we have to live everyday is a privilege to move closer to God,” he said.

Meanwhile the deceased colleagues at Igando General Hospital where she worked before she died have been mourning her, describing her death as a shock. One of the patients at the hospital who was treated by the nurse described her as a superwoman.

    “She was a  good woman who always counselled one while administering drugs to patients.  Even when I was complaining about money to buy some drugs, she told me to concentrate on my health and assured that God would provide the money. True to her words, my husband was able to raise money for the drugs. Unfortunately, she is not here for me to express my gratitude for her reassuring hope,” the patient said.

The Lagos State Police command has vowed to arrest the robbers:

    “Incidents like this challenge us to rise up and strategize. What I can assure residents of this city is that there is no insecurity in Lagos. We would continue to strategize. I won’t tell you all that we are doing but what I can assure you is that we would get the suspects.” he said
