According to News Express, one of late Sholly's cousins identified as Bunmi Jasmine Omeke, released a statement saying:

“The news of the death of Oluwashola Atunrayo Gaska (nee Adefolalu) fondly known as ‘Sholly’ came as a rude shock to her family and friends back home in Nigeria. More devastating was the effect of the report of her cremation by her husband, just a few days after her death, to the eldest sister of the deceased, Mrs. Bola ‘Salt Essien-Nelson.”

According to the statement, nobody from Sholly's family was given the chance to see or pay their last respects to her. When asked, Jakub said he was fulfilling his wife's 'wishes.

Sholly's elder sister Essien- Nelson, said she had received a call about her sister's death around 11:00am on December 28, 2016, and that she had spoken with her sister earlier on December 24. She also said her sister had not mentioned any health issues or anything that could have led to her death.
Essien said:

“To date, the only proof of Sholly’s death is a scanned copy of the death certificate with the alleged cause of death being secondary anaemia and ‘tumour on the uterus.”

Meanwhile, Jakub said his late wife had taken ill on the morning of December 28, and was rushed to the hospital, where he sent his sister to take care of her so that he could return to work. He claimed to have been at work when he was called and informed of his wife's death.

Essien had been planning to travel to Poland with her husband, to see her sister's body and possibly plan her burial, when she was told by Jakub that she had already been cremated (as she allegedly wished) on January 2, 2017. He however itted that Sholly had asked for her sister to be allowed to see her body before she was cremated (which didn't happen eventually).

Jakub also reportedly went ahead to bury her ashes on January 7, without her family's knowledge, which has caused Sholly's family to suspect foul play in her death.

Essien said:

“We understand Jakub has the final say over the funeral rites for late Sholly and as shocking as the cremation request was, we were willing to honour her ‘supposed’ wishes. What we could not understand was why her husband has deprived our family of the opportunity of paying our last respects to our daughter, sister, niece, cousin and aunt.”

Na wa o! RIP to her!

I don't know why Nigerians opt for burial always.

Cremation is the best way and you don't have to waste land space.

I wish to be cremated

But that oyinbo man no try at all, he should be sued

Ills of interracial marriage.

Culture differences

Oyibo husband..

kniru:
issorite!!!

No, its not alright

That guy should be arrested asap. There's something he's hiding.

This one is strong

The way and manner whites treat us black is worrisome.

When you factor in behaviour of Jammeh of Gambia and Mugabe of Zimbabwe then you understand what I mean.

We are the problem to our problems.

God knows best

Ok

Una know no say eyinbo mumu before...... Rip

The guy need to be held responsible for the death what rubbish

Hmmm!

I smell a rat!

Hmmmm.I suspect dias sumtin else amidst

Juju

Are we even sure that she is truly dead?

Unnecessary things people pay attention to....

He married her legally, paid all her dowries and owned her.

Now he must seek permission before burying or cremating his own wife?

Africans and stupid suspicion.....
.osim "foul play"

Wowzer! It is well o.

Maybe they should petition the police to allow them get info from the doctors that attended to her on her last days to eliminate foul play or just let sleeping dogs be. Oyinbos are the most uncultured ever! The crazzy dude must think she tell from the sky...idi ara!

Yesterday, was watching investigation discovery channel....about a man who died, and wife no 2 wanted to cremate his body the following day.

Daughter of the man's late wife no1 got suspicious and stopped the cremation, and asked for autopsy.

Autopsy showed that the man ed on due to poisoning....by wife 2....who got jailed.

Hmmmm.

Would like to be cremated when i die


But that nigga was up to something

He should have atleast allowed the fam to pay their last respect. Nobody says he shouldnt fulfil the wife's wish to be cremated.

Nice one but the point is she was cremated so soon after her death to avoid an autopsy that could reveal the cause of death if it wasn't natural.

This isn't a case of saving space they just want to know what their family member died of so sad

Naija
