The sudden death of the Nigerian-American business woman and Chief Executive Officer of Vintage Café, Wuse, Abuja, the late Mrs Sofia Ohaekelem, did not only come as a surprise but for the shocking and overwhelming report linking her beloved husband as the principal suspect and the killer of the successful and warm-hearted entrepreneur.
Mr. Hyginus Odinaka Ohaekelem, who is yet to come out of his shell of grief and mourning over the death of his wife of four years and mother of his two sons, was also faced with the additional encounter of answering questions over the death of his wife to prove his innocence.
Is the death of the late Mrs Sofia Ohaekelem a natural death? Was a crime of culpable homicide established against her husband, Hyginus Odinaka Ohaekelem? Only Police investigations could answer these questions and more.
The husband of the deceased business woman, Odinaka, however revealed to us that his journey to innocence started on October 7, 2021 when he voluntarily reported at the Criminal Investigations Department of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command on invitation to answer to petition against him that he killed his wife with a food poison. He commended the three (3) months rigorous and discrete investigations conducted by the Police and the professionalism displayed by the investigating officers. He said everyone that could be linked to the case was invited and examined and the American embassy was part of the process throughout the period of investigations.
Indications from Police investigations into the case clearly uncovered the cause of death and since exonerated Hyginus Odinaka Ohaekelem of the allegation of having killed his beloved wife. The Police have also released the remains of the late entrepreneur to her husband for her burial.
Now that his innocence is established, would he press charges against his accusers? Mr. Odinaka said, there are persons indicted in the investigations so far that are nowhere to be found. He said he trust that the Police would intensify efforts to arrest these persons and bring the investigations to a logical conclusion.
He further thanked God for saving him and exonerating him from the grievous allegations against him and gave account how the sudden death of his beloved wife would remain indelible in his mind. says it is difficult to bid Sofia his beloved wife, good bye.
