her husband, Waheed Buhari, who was killed by
men, suspected to be militants in Ogun State.
The gunmen reportedly invaded Imushin community
in Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government Area of the
state at the weekend.
The assailants believed to be militants were
reportedly on a revenge mission. They also shot
her 13-year-old daughter, New Telegraph reports.
Narrating her ordeal, Ramota said Waheed was
shot and killed moments after he stepped out to
urinate.
The grieving widow said, “I held him and was
screaming for help, when I heard that my daughter
had also been shot.
“My family usually goes to bed earlier than 11pm,
but because it was Ramadan and the kids had
gone to lecture in one of the mosques, we decided
to wait for them.
“After my husband had ushered the children in, he
stepped out to urinate. What I heard next were loud
noise of gunshots.
“Waheed fell down and died on the spot,” Mrs
Buhari narrated.
Scores were alleged to have been killed by the
rampaging militants who claimed their colleagues
were killed.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the
militants were about 100.
He said, “Information from witnesses showed that
the hoodlums were militants and they came from
the riverine area. But we have not confirmed this,
as investigations are ongoing.
“We are particularly interested in why they came in
such a large number.”
