How Woman Was Killed In Benin During Voting On Saturday

My dear sister and friend, Elizabeth Arigo Owie was hit by a stray bullet at last Saturday’s poll

She voted at Unit 34, Ward 9, Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area (Ogheghe Market)

One of the new Units introduced by INEC last year

While the election held, from the blues, unknown gunmen struck, fired shots into an innocent crowd, lo and behold, Oyibo as we often called her, took a bullet, she is dead

Leaving 3 kids to an average husband

I am deeply and personally touched by her unsolicited death, particularly due of the role I played getting her to that Unit last year

When she called during the Voters Registration Exercise that she wanted to register, I immediately linked her with the INEC Officials on ground at her Ward, she was happy at the completion of the exercise

Today however, that happiness is ruined and the family has been thrown to mourning

Elizabeth radiated light and beauty through and through

This is too much naaaa

I am in the verge of losing a Senatorial election

I am in the verge of losing a Presidential election

Now I can confirm I have lost a dear friend and sister
