Egbeda Killing: Ronke Shonde Secretly Buried By Family in Lagos

imageRonke Shonde, wife allegedly murdered by her husband, Mr. Lekan Shonde has been secretly buried by her family members today in Lagos.

The ex-banker, Mrs. Ronke Shonde, who was allegedly killed by her husband, was interred at the Atan cemetery, Yaba, on Friday.

People wailed uncontrollably while her corpse was being lowered into the grave.

The deceased’s body was conveyed to the cemetery in a hired hearse which left the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) morgue at about 2:00pm.

The burial which was kept secret, was witnessed by only close family members and friends of the deceased.

A Pastor from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Destiny Sanctuary held a brief sermon that lasted about five minutes.

The sermon, it was gathered, preceded solemn hymns, sung by those gathered at the cemetery.

The deceased’s relatives, who still feel shortchanged by the result of the autopsy, it was gathered, demanded that justice be served on her alleged killer.

“Honestly, justice should be served because these children have been deprived of the joy of having a mother. They will never know motherhood, but when they grow up and understand what deprived them of that joy, they will be comforted that justice was done. I believe that is the only thing that will sooth them in years to come,” said a male relative of the deceased.

“The family took the decision to quietly bury Ronke in order to keep eyes of the public away for the issue and allow the story fade off gradually”, the source said.

Sources disclosed that the family had tried hard to keep the entire issues around the death of late Ronke private, so as to “manage” the entire incident internally.

According to the relative, Ronke was a lovely person who deserves to get justice.
