But he told me that my daughter complained of stomach ache and he invited a Doctor to take care of her at home. He said she passed out as she was being transfused with water".

The 63 years old father of late Atinuke, Mr Omotoso said he did not believe the account of his son in law as to what killed his daughter because report from close sources confirmed her being assaulted always by the husband, even two weeks earlier which led to her being in a state of comma.

Mr Omotoso said the deceased was buried on Saturday at a location reportedly belonging to the husband.

The man also alleged that he was being prevented access to the three children of his late daughter.
