The mother of three, who is facing five years in prison for the death of
a doctor in an accident over 10 years ago, has talked about her
travails. Speaking Ibinabo said;
"Since the incident happened, I have learnt how not to trust anybody any
more. I put my trust now in the Lord. And this is better explained in
the new song I recorded. The music captures my story. Emotionally, I
have been drained and to some extent humiliated, even in public…I wasn’t
happy that I was involved in that accident. I have said it over and
over again that I’m deeply sorry that it ever happened. I
don’t know how else to atone for the accident. I started begging my
victim’s family from the day the accident happened.
My family
attended the funeral rites and service of songs and I even attended the
40 days prayer when I was strong enough to move about. I met with the
mother and the wife of the deceased. There’s virtually nothing I didn’t
do to plead with the family of the deceased to let me off the hook. I’m
still pleading with them as I speak with you right now.” She said this some years ago
“I don’t have a relationship with the family. They banned me from coming
to see them. I used to visit the mother, but they warned me to stop
coming to their house. So, I can only pray for them and that’s what I
did always.”
I have my own health challenges too. I went for a test and they found a
growth- a lump in my breasts which I had to remove. So, if we don’t do
these tests continuously anything can happen. We usually take our lives
for granted. You must continue to go for routine medical examinations.
That’s what AGN is all about. We are here to ensure that our members are
properly taken care of. We can’t get our money in the bank to pay for
our health insurance because they froze the account. I opened the
account before the case started.” “We are back on track and everything
is beginning to happen again.
