It was 10:37am on Saturday 14th February 2015; I
was in choir rehearsals when pictures flooded my WhatsApp and a
question followed ''Ify, Ken(my kid brother) told you what happened two nights
ago yeah?'' well I never heard any news from my family but taking a very close
look at the pictures I realised a jeep which belonged to my younger brother and
spray of bullets on it, I instantly went bananas, I leaped; running right to
the back of the church and fell face down in tears and all I could remember saying
then was ''thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus''.
I woke up that very day and during my morning devotion,
after worshiping I found out I couldn’t say much in my prayers other than thank
you Lord, thank you Lord. Apparently I had mentioned my brother and wife’s
name, thanking God for their lives and their daughter even without knowing what
had happened.
Let’s go back to my reaction at the choir
rehearsals. As I laid face down crying and thanking God even when I dint have
full gistJ
(details), a deaconess plunged and grabbed my hands requesting I maintain a
positive attitude no matter what the plight may be, I still nursed thank you
Jesus. I put a call through my family but couldn’t reach anyone. I got real
worried! , but why have they decided to keep me in the dark, why won’t they
talk to me, why, why, why?????? Next I tried my kid sis and she took hers! Praise
God, I requested for full details. With a faint voice she replied ''Ify sorry
the thing has just been so heavy for our mouths to speak. No one has been able
to talk since, the matter has left us in awe and our lips are shut''.
Ok so here is it; my younger brother had been deployed
to South Africa to continue his assignment 3months ago and his wife and daughter
(Cherish) was to join him in SA a night before this victorious incident occurred.
From the horse’s side of things (unedited) here
comes the victorious, the more than conqueror, the daughter of Zion, and the
apple of God's eyes recount:
...’’So twas a nyt to my leaving
town(Enugu).my travel documents in my car,sm last minutes shopping(baby food et
al),a visit to my mother in laws to say our goodbyes.....nd I was on my way
home wt my good friend,NoNo nd Cherish.Twas 8:10pm.
I rounded d bend of my regular route home chatting happily wt
my friend,suddenly it struck me dat smthg was not alright.d car in front of me
did a reverse past me,a policeman was running towards my car wt his gun drawn
bt looking really confused.I hit d brake nd tried to put d reverse gear,at dat
moment,it seemed d' R' could not be found.
....Phew!!!out jumped a guy frm d bend nd opened fire on d policeman,3shots,d policeman went down(ryt in front of me).my car lights was on,dis guy dat Jesus died for now turned his gun towards me nd started shooting....it had to be an angel bcos instantly my hands found d reverse gear nd I sped off bt not before the car took sm shots.

Next thg I knew,dere was an impact,d car fell into a
ditch(meanwhile my friend was carrying my now screaming daughter ryt beside me
in front of d car).We got out and ran.....a pregnant woman,with her friend and
a wailing baby.....We hid ourselves behind sm walls,d bandits sped past nd
zoomed off.We came out,i managed to grab my slipper,my bag,baby bag nd locked d
car den we ran off.
It was like a movie yet so real.I can imagine wat d headlines would have read-'Pregnant woman nd baby,victims of assasination just a night before there trip out of the country'.did I even know fire spews out from a shooting gun?lol
...BUT He dat keepeth Kenechi neither sleeps nor slumbers.Dat nyt,i knew angels were on assignment.Thank God for his keeping grace''.
