A Nigerian woman, simply identified as Roseline, tragically passed away after suffering severe burns when she was pushed into a large pot of boiling ground fresh pepper and tomatoes by her friends in Delta State.
Activist Comrade Israel Joe confirmed the incident in a Facebook post on Friday, May 3, 2024, stating that Roseline died last Friday after a two-week battle for her life in a hospital in Warri.
Joe explained that before her demise, Roseline revealed that her friends had issues with her, but she still traveled with them for a catering job in Sapele where the incident occurred.
The activist is now seeking justice for Roseline, vowing to ensure the perpetrators are held accountable.
“Rest in peace, dear Rozzy. She was pushed into a big boiling pot of ground fresh pepper and tomatoes by her friend on Saturday, April 13. She battled for about two weeks with her roasted/boiled body and finally died last Friday, April 26,” he wrote.
“Rozzy was buried four days ago, but we can’t just allow things to slide as though nothing happened. What an evil friendship like those I once had.
“Nobody in the neighborhood in Otokutu knew Roseline had been allegedly killed by these same friends she was living with. She was buried with no one to bid her goodbye and with no single burial poster to honor her. Just two days in the morgue, the mortuary attendants demanded she be carried away to bury.
“According to Rozzy, her friends were beefing her, but she still decided to travel with them for a catering job in Sapele where they were speaking their local language with this Yoruba girl, Rozzy, not understanding their conversation.
“All of a sudden, she landed in a very big pot of boiling fresh pepper and tomatoes where they even still delayed in rescuing her. She was later rushed to Sage Hospital, by Estate in Warri, where they managed the situation, but my friend couldn’t make it.
“What pains me is that these two girls are still walking and gallivanting everywhere like nothing happened. I hate intimidation and oppression, especially against persons who are non-indigenes.
“No report to the police, no investigations, no arrest, nothing. The law is superior, a citizen is a citizen and possesses the full right of citizenship. Keep your ‘indigeneship’ in your pocket, the police must smoke them out so they can face the law. Na God dey help who nor get helper.
“We shall fight for Rozzy, you cannot just be killed like a chicken and buried like an animal. Nobody deserves such a horrible death. We never got to meet Rose, only chatting on Facebook due to endless busy schedules, only to see you, at the most disgusting sight at Sage Hospital, hoping for your recovery, but death stole you. Justice shall prevail, including if you would be exhumed.”
