Looks like the Idibias got more that they envisaged when they went to
their hometown to burial their father, who died recently of Prostrate
cancer. The bone of contention was that the Amafu community in Okpokwu
LGA of Benue State were unhappy with Tuface and his siblings for
refusing to complete his house in the village – It was learnt that the
battle started shortly after Tuface’s father died, and the family
invited the four children to inform them of what to do.
According to dailypost, Tuface’s mum, Mrs. Rose Idibia narrowly
escaped death on Thursday night after she was attacked by her husband’s
kinsmen for not allowing Tuface to complete his house in the village.
The villagers, asked the superstar, to build a befitting house where
his father would be laid to rest, since he is the star among them.
Well, Tuface, however made a promise, which he kept, as he sent in
some money for the building project and upgrading of the road which
leads to it, which made everyone happy as even farmers had no problem
uprooting their crops on the road path.
Well according to Dailypost, trouble started when the projects
suddenly stopped, leaving the people, including Tuface’s uncles in the
dark – And when Tuface was contacted, he told them he no longer had
money to continue the project and that he would continue after his
father’s burial.
And this got his kinsmen really pissed as they vowed no burial would
hold – And it was found out that it his mum, Rose that allegedly stopped
him from completing the project.
And this sparked the anger of the people including farmers whose
plants were wasted in the name of the road construction – as angry
villagers were seen throwing stones and sticks at her, calling her all
sort of names depicting a wicked person.
The protest lasted for hours before it was brought under control by
elders in the village, meanwhile, Tuface stayed glued inside his car
with two of his kids, Isabella and Olivia, with security men fully on
guard as the youths vowed to beat him up for listening to his mum.
While explaining her side of the story, Tuface’s mom said;
“Is it not wickedness that you would call on someone who
is mourning his father to come and start a building project? When my
husband died, they informed my son to come and build ten bed room flat.
He accepted and promised to do so, with the hope that a hug amount of
money was coming his way. The building project started almost
immediately but stopped along the line because of finance. So, when they
called to complain that money was no longer coming, I called Tuface and
he said because of the Ebola issue, the money he was expecting could
not come, that they should hold on till after the burial. But his uncles
refused, insisting that the burial would not hold until Tuface
completed the house.
“When we finally came home with the corpse on Thursday, they began to
boo me. Some wanted to kill me by throwing stones and sticks at me,
that I stopped Tuface my son from building in his village”
Pa. Idibia was finally laid to rest but the community is insisting
that Tuface must complete the building or he would remain in the
village.
And when DailyPost contacted Tuface’s manager, Efe Omoregbe, he said;
“Bros, I don’t know what you are talking about”.
Drama!!! What’s your take???
