DANA Air Crash : My heart goes with death of my last born

ASABA—Mother of late Ikechukwu Christopher Okocha who was among those killed during the ill-fated Dana plane crash, Lady Agatha Okocha said she has lost all because “with his death, my heart is gone and I have returned to where I started”.35-year old graduate of Fishery from the University of Benin (Uniben) was the last child in the family of five children who wedded less than two years ago and blessed with a baby girl.

Lady Okocha, a retired Nurse  who battled to speak to newsmen at her16, Ifeiamokolo Osakwe Close  off Jesus Saves Road, Asaba home, said her children initially kept the news of her son’s death away from her.

According to her, “I have three boys and two girls but this one (Christopher) is my beloved. He knows my heart. When I am annoyed he knows that I am annoyed. My husband who is a retiree from Textile Mill has been sick and since Christopher established his own business after graduation, he has been taking care of us.

With his death my heart is gone and I have returned to where I started as if he was now in primary school for me to start training. My daughter in- law (Christopher’s wife) has been taken to her parents’ house with my grand daughter. Actually I do not know how to express my pains and I do not know how to endure it”.

“While all these were happening”, she went on, “I was still not told exactly the situation of things until somebody called me to tell me sorry over what had happened to me and I asked the person what happened before he told me that my son, Christopher was among those that died in the Dana plan crash. At that time I fell on the ground and became unconscious until they sent for a doctor who came immediately and resuscitate me”.
