The widower and children of Mrs. Salome Acheju Abuh, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Women Leader, who was burnt alive in her home by suspected thugs during November 16, 2019, Kogi governorship election, are crying for justice over the death of their wife and mother. xAccording to him, his fully furnished five-bedroom, four-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments and other properties were razed in his Ochadamu country home during the attack, and that life has never been the same for the family ever since. He said: “The continuous living in the internally displaced persons (IDP) situation of my people and others affected in Ochadamu community and silence of the powers that be, since the past two years, remains worrisome. According to him, neither the government nor any political party, including the PDP for which cause his wife paid the supreme price, had offered any form of support to the family since the incident. He appealed to President Buhari to order “sincere and comprehensive investigations with a view to ensuring that justice prevails, no matter who may be involved.”He also called for the immortalisation of his wife as a ‘political celebrity,’ who paid the supreme price for the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria.
