FAREWELL ASAKÉ..
"What calamity has befallen us!"
"Who shall we tell our ordeals to??"
"Where shall we run to?"
"Who will save us from this irrevocable disgrace??"
Lamented the Family of Owa
"The only source of our hope.."
"The only reason for which we live"..
"Our daughter.. Asaké has shamed us"
"Asaké has gotten herself pregnant"
"We scolded her.. we beat her… we flogged her.. we cursed her.."
"Asaké decided to end it once and for all"
"Asaké saw it fit to make us pay more further..."
"Asaké grabbed a knife… sharp!"
"And right in front of the whole extended family of fifteen.."
"Asaké stabbed herself.. Asaké ended her own life, and we were there, we couldn't hold her! We couldn't stop her!!"
Lamented the family of Owa..
"How do we go about this?!"
"The Asaké, a law undergraduate, which we all have been looking up to, wrought upon us wickedness..
Now she's dead..
Asaké is gone..
We pushed her too much..
We never allowed her to explain her own side of the story..
We refused to hear that she was raped against her will..
In a letter she communicated instead..
Farewell! Asaké Farewell!
Regards to our forefathers..
Owa's hope.. Farewell..
We are sorry for not embracing you..
We are terribly sorry for not listening..
We apologize deeply to your soul for shortening your life..
We killed you Asaké..
We know it..
And we sincerely apologize..
From the Sorrowful hearts of the Owa family…
