Sonnie Bassey, whose lawyer wife, Claret Opara Bassey, reportedly died in a lone accident on Murtala Mohammed highway in Calabar on Sunday, September 18 has finally broken his silence over the incident.<\/p>\n

According to The Nation, Bassey in a telephone conversation dismissed claim that his late wife, acting on information that he was seen in a shopping mall with a side-chic<\/a> (girlfriend) was chasing him when the accident that killed her occurred.<\/p>\n

He also said the story that he fallen into coma and died are nothing but figments of the imagination of their peddlers, saying that his family and that of his late wife will be talking to newsmen after the deceased woman is buried.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cJournalism goes beyond writing something you just hear from others. I have spoken with my elders, my relatives, my pastor and lawyers, and I have been advised to remain quiet for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to bury my wife and give her that respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife is not the first woman that has died in a motor accident. It is quite unfortunate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know that I\u2019m a Christian. We believe that nothing surpasses the knowledge of God.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe that as it may, if there were not to be all those write ups and even extra length suggesting that I have been in coma and I\u2019m dead, maybe I would have granted an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife was dead at the time I took her to the hospital, so there is no way she could have granted anybody an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the things they wrote, it was as if the person was actually with my wife or my wife had told the person this was what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the best of my knowledge, nobody was with my wife in her car, but they were saying things as if my wife had told somebody what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe that as it may, as I mentioned earlier, I have chosen to be quiet until I bury my wife. After that I intend to have a press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the two families, my wife\u2019s family and mine, intend to issue a briefing, but they also chose to be quiet at this point.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I want to crave your indulgence that you people should respect our space for now, because this is something that can happen to anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven as I am, one day, I will also die. I am from Akwa Ibom where we respect the dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bassey and her deceased wife had enjoyed an enviable relationship, and not a few people have attested to how good a husband and father he has been to his wife and children.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loved his children so dearly and did also cherish his wife. They started their relationship from the university,\u201d said an associate who pleaded anonymity while also disputing the various tales and allegations against Bassey.<\/p>\n

According to her, nothing happened at the shopping mall concerning Sonnie and the late wife<\/a>. She said Bassey was rather at Stadium Restaurant where he often goes to stay and play scrabble.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said they met around stadium and the wife drove after the husband.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cSonnie\u2019s (Bassey\u2019s) car has tinted glasses. How then is it possible that someone saw the person inside and was following the allegations from the shopping mall to the accident point? I don\u2019t know what such a person wanted to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

A child rights activist, Mr. Sam Egbala, said his \u201cconcern in the whole incident is the well being of the children between Sonnie (Bassey) and his late wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important the children are not bombarded with stories that may have psychological effect on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssuming the allegations are true, nobody should blame the man. It is the alleged informant who told the late wife about where the husband was and what he was doing that should be blamed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should learn to mind their business. Supposing the purported \u2018side chic\u2019 was someone different from the allegations, what achievement would the informant claim?<\/p>\n

\u201cIn all, we should respect the man and the two families involved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
