The family of Mrs. Oluwashola Gaska (nee Adefolalu) has
petitioned the Federal Government to unravel the mystery surrounding her death
in Poland and the cremation of her corpse by her husband, Mr. Jakub Gaska,
without their consent. .
The deceased’s elder sister, Mrs. Abimbola Essien-Nelson, at
a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, alleged that Oluwashola was murdered
and her corpse hastily cremated to cover it despite the family’s objection.
In the petition, dated January 29, 2017, and titled, ‘Petition
against Mr. Jakub Gaska for the murder, unlawful cremation and burial of
Oluwashola Atunrayo Gaska (nee Adefolalu) in Krakow, Poland, on December 28,
2016,’ the family detailed how the late Oluwashola, who studied in Poland,
settled in the country and later married Gaska in 2010. .
The petition read in part, “The last verbal conversation I
had with the deceased took place on December 24, 2016, and she made no
complaint about her health. At about 11.28am, on Wednesday, December 28, 2016,
I received a telephone call from the husband that ‘there had been an accident,
Shola had fallen unconscious and had died.’
“The husband did not
tell me the nature of the so called accident. I was still conversing with the
husband when the telephone was disconnected. “The husband later called me back
on the same day, stating that Oluwashola fell ill on Tuesday, and that he and
his sister took her to the a hospital (the name of the hospital was not
provided). He said she passed away at about 3am on Wednesday, December 28,
2016.” .
