The grandmother of CrossRiverWatch publisher, Agba Jalingo, Mrs. Mary Andokie Ikwen (née Ushie) has died aged 121.
“Ama-Bebuatsuan (Mama Bebuatsuan)” as she was popularly referred to, died in the early hours of Saturday in Udigie, Obudu Local Government Area.
A native of Begiaba community, she was married first in Ukwel-Obudu where she bore two children including Mr. Jalingo’s mother who passed away in 2016, and later in Bebuatsuan where she bore two more.
Mr. Jalingo announced her passing in a short statement on his Facebook page.
“At last, my grandmother has joined our ancestors at 121 years old,” he wrote and prayed for the repose of her soul while remembering his late mother, her daughter and younger brother, Philip Agba.
“If people truly reunite yonder, she would have seen her daughter, Ungie-Ato (my mother) and my younger brother, Agbibia,” he said and shared some fond memories with her.
“I usually go home to massage her feet with coconut oil, while she was always praying for me. I will miss her dearly,” he wrote.
