Revealed! The real story of how Tuface, mum escaped being lynched by angry villagers

Tuface

What would have become a national tragedy was recently averted in Amafu community, Okpowu LGA of Benue State when Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of famous singer, Innocent Idibia famously known as Tuface narrowly escaped death in the hands of her people.

SHOWBIZPLUSng gathered that she was attacked by her late husband’s kinsmen for allegedly turning her famous son against his people.
A reliable insider hinted that the family members were angry with the educationist for allegedly stopping Idibia, a father of seven from different women, from building them a promised family house.
Trouble, we were told reared its ugly head shortly after Idibia’s dad died and the family subsequently invited his four children to inform them on what to do.
Tuface was instructed to build a befitting house where his father would be laid to rest and also ‘grade’ the road leading to Amufu, their home town from Ojapo for easy access during the burial, which he all promised to do.
“As a matter of fact, he sent in some money and kicked off the building project and the upgrading of the road immediately, however, along the line, the projects hit menopause and family members were left in the dark on what led to the sudden stoppage,” hinted an insider.

Speaking further, another insider said:

“When we contacted Tuface, he told us he no longer had money to further the projects that he would continue after his father’s burial, but we carried out our investigations and discovered that it was his mum, Rose that stopped him from completing the projects. The mum told him not to waste his money on any building that he would not come home anytime to stay there, saying that his uncles would only take over the house once he completes it,” 

The main reason, the people decided to deal with her during the turbulent burial.
SHOWBIZPLUSng further scooped that as soon as the corpse touched down in Amufu and the widow alighted, youths in the land began to insult and jeer at her. They threw stones and sticks at her calling her all sorts of names and saying that she is wicked – some mockingly called her ‘Obu Michael’ (Michael’s husband).
She had to be whisked into a room by her colleagues from Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi where she serves as Vice Principal, Admin. When all these drama were happening, Tuface allegedly remained in his car with two of his kids, Isabella and Olivia, watching helplessly.
Explaining her side of the story when the priest in charge of St. Camel Catholic Church, Ojapo, tried settling the case, Mrs. Idibia blasted her in-laws for being heartless.
“Is it not wickedness that you would call on someone who is mourning his father to come and start a building project? When my husband died, they informed my son to come and build ten bed rooms flat. He accepted and promised to do so, with the hope that a huge amount of money was coming his way. The building project started almost immediately but stopped along the line because of finance. So, when they called to complain why money was no longer coming I called Tuface and he said because of the Ebola issue, the money he was expecting could not come that they should hold on till after the burial. But his uncles got angry and said that the burial would not hold until Tuface completes the house. When we finally came home with the corpse on Thursday, they began to boo me. Some wanted to kill me by throwing stones and sticks at me that I stopped Tuface my son from building in his village,” she explained in an angry but quaky voice.

We could not reach Tuface for reactions before publishing, but would definitely keep you posted as events unfurl.
