Nigerian music producer and guitarist, Ifiok Effanga, popularly known as Fiokee, is grieving the loss of his beloved sister, Emma Effanga, who recently passed away under tragic circumstances.
Taking to Instagram to express his sorrow, Fiokee revealed that his sister allegedly lost her life due to domestic violence.
In an emotionally charged statement, he lamented the fact that he was unaware of the suffering she endured in silence.
His words painted a heartbreaking picture of the hidden struggles faced by many victims of domestic abuse who are unable to speak out.
The devastated musician emphasised that while justice would undoubtedly take its course, no form of punishment could ever bring back his beloved sister.
Also, he used the painful incident as a call to action.
He urges individuals trapped in abusive relationships to speak up before it becomes too late.
“My heart is shattered. I can’t believe I’m writing this, but my sister is gone. She was taken from us by someone who claimed to love her. I had no idea she was suffering in silence. She never spoke about the abuse, and now it’s too late,” he wrote.
Encouraging others to break free from the chains of silence, he continued:
“If you are in an abusive relationship, please, I beg you – speak up. I know it’s not easy. I know fear can make you stay quiet, but silence can be deadly. There are people who care, people who will help you. Please don’t wait until it’s too late.”
Fiokee further stressed that while legal consequences would follow, nothing could undo the devastating loss of his sister.
He hoped that by sharing her tragic story, at least one life could be saved, ensuring that her death would not be in vain.
