“My husband passed on December 14th, 2020. There was a fire incident and he was involved. The fire incident actually happened on December 13th, 2020, and he passed on the following day. There was just a fire incident. So how did it happen? There was just a fire incident and early hours of Sunday, I got a call from his office. I flew to Port Harcourt, got to be with him and the following day, my husband gave up the ghost.

“I was alone, my husband died in my presence, I took him to Mortuary alone right there in Port Harcourt. His colleague and his wife were with me, they followed me to the morgue. Taking a dead body to the mortuary, the procedure, they are still fresh with me”, Rosemary Olubode revealed in a question and answer session.

Speaking further, Rosemary Olubode said, “When I remember those things, they are what have been keeping me going because I know my husband would say ‘Rosemary, keep moving’. I had to be strong by force. The following day, I had to pick up his corpse, I flew to Lagos alone with my husband’s corpse, with just two pilots and one air hostess. I know what it was to be alone and coming to Lagos with his corpse. The traffic in Lagos before I could move him to another morgue on the Island in Lagos”.

“The only way i can describe my husband is to say that I married the kindest man on earth. My husband was kind-hearted, he was kind to a fault, my husband would deprive himself of the good things of.life, in order to make people happy, to make his family happy. My husband could sacrifice anything, just to make people happy, just to make people smile. My husband would want to solve people’s problems, he would pay house rent, paid school fees. Once my husband knew people’s problem, he would go to any length to solve that problem; that was the sort of man I married. He was just too kind, he was God-fearing. We all miss him, his colleagues miss him, it is three years now and everybody still misses Niyi Olubode,” said Olubode.
