The husband of a pregnant woman murdered alongside her four children by suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the Orumba Local Government Area of Anambra State, has spoken about the horrible incident.

The victims, Harira Jubril and her four kids named Fatima, Aisha, Hadiza, and Zaituna, who hailed from Adamawa State, were killed by gunmen on May 22.

Speaking on the death of his wife with BBC News, the husband, identified as Ahmed Jubril, said the incident was his worst experience. 

He added that his wife was supposed to give birth this week before being murdered.  

“Fatima, my eldest daughter, was nine years old, followed by her sister, Aisha, who was 7, then Hadiza, five years old, and Zaituna, two years old.”

Giving an account of the incident, Jubril said his wife and kids were returning from her sister’s place where they went to spend the weekend when they were attacked.

“I went to work that day, and upon my return, my brother told me what happened. I later went to visit them in the hospital.”

He added that he is getting donations from people so he can transport the remains of his family to Adamawa state for burial.  

The police spokesperson in Anambra State, Ikenga Tochukwu, said the security operatives would fish out those behind the killings.
