Vivian, widow of a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Charles Ezechila, who was crushed to death along with two of his children by a container that fell off a trailer at Ojota on their way from Redemption Camp where they had gone for the church popular programme, Holy Ghost Service Night, said her late husband dismissed her advice to him to take precautions on that fateful day.

“I called my husband around 11 or 12pm on Friday. He was at the camp. I told him that because of the Badoo killings in Ikorodu, he should not come home very early as he usually did. I asked him to stay around till 5 or 6am before leaving the camp. He asked me if there was any riot in any place. I said no. He said I should forget about the cult matter and not entertain any fear. He assured me that since he was coming from a church of God, there was nothing to worry about. I was told he left the camp around 3am. That was the last discussion I had with him,” Vivian, who is left with two children after two died in the ill-fated incident told Punch.
