Man Whose Wife Died Chasing Him And Side Chick To Address Press Conference

Sonnie Bassey, whose lawyer wife, Claret Opara Bassey, died in a lone accident in Calabar allegedly pursing a side chick with him is to address a press conference to clear air on the issue after her burial.

Bassey in a telephone chat with The Nation dismissed narratives in the media on the death of his beloved wife even as he poohpoohed claims that he had fallen into a coma and died following the incident.

“Journalism goes beyond writing something you just hear from others. I have spoken with my elders, my relatives, my pastor and lawyers, and I have been advised to remain quiet for now.

“I want to bury my wife and give her that respect.

“My wife is not the first woman that has died in a motor accident. It is quite unfortunate.

“You know that I’m a Christian. We believe that nothing surpasses the knowledge of God.

“Be that as it may, if there were not to be all those write ups and even extra length suggesting that I have been in coma and I’m dead, maybe I would have granted an interview.

“My wife was dead at the time I took her to the hospital, so there is no way she could have granted anybody an interview.

“From the things they wrote, it was as if the person was actually with my wife or my wife had told the person this was what happened.

“To the best of my knowledge, nobody was with my wife in her car, but they were saying things as if my wife had told somebody what happened.

“Be that as it may, as I mentioned earlier, I have chosen to be quiet until I bury my wife. After that I intend to have a press conference.

“Even the two families, my wife’s family and mine, intend to issue a briefing, but they also chose to be quiet at this point.

“So I want to crave your indulgence that you people should respect our space for now, because this is something that can happen to anybody.

“Even as I am, one day, I will also die. I am from Akwa Ibom where we respect the dead.”

According to the report, Bassey and his deceased wife had enjoyed an enviable relationship contrary to the narrative painted following her death reportedly pursing her husband with a side chick.

“He loved his children so dearly and did also cherish his wife. They started their relationship from the university,” said an associate who pleaded anonymity while also disputing the various tales and allegations against Bassey.

According to her, nothing happened at the shopping mall concerning Sonnie and the late wife. She said Bassey was rather at Stadium Restaurant where he often goes to stay and play scrabble.”

She said they met around stadium and the wife drove after the husband.

According to her, “Sonnie’s (Bassey’s) car has tinted glasses. How then is it possible that someone saw the person inside and was following the allegations from the shopping mall to the accident point? I don’t know what such a person wanted to achieve.”

Meanwhile, GWG.NG reports that many Nigerians would be looking to Mr Bassey give his own narrative at the press conference following the insinuations that the wife’s pursuit of him and a side chick led to her death.
