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.
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.
