A grieving mother in Jos, Mrs Favour Ayuba, has drawn national attention after a video surfaced showing her emotional reaction to the killing of her son, Promise, during a recent attack in Plateau State. During his funeral, she asked that the dead son avenge his death.
In the viral clip, Mrs Ayuba, visibly distraught, expressed deep anguish over the loss, saying she had not eaten since the incident. The attack, which occurred on March 29, Palm Sunday in the Angwan Rukuba area of Jos North Local Government Area, left at least 24 people dead and several others injured after gunmen opened fire on residents.
In the latest video, she spoke in Hausa, lamenting the loss and the circumstances surrounding her son’s death. At one point, she was seen holding a cutlass wrapped in cloth, showing the depth of her grief and emotional distress.
She placed it in her son’s coffin, as she sought vengeance.
She said, “If you want me to forget, baby, avenge your death. I carried you in my womb for nine months; you suckled at my breast. Baby, I trust you revenge for me, revenge for me. Please, wherever they are, follow them and avenge your death.”
