Fiokee, the Nigerian guitarist, has announced the passing of Emem Effang, his sister.
In an emotional post via his Instagram page, the 43-year-old guitarist expressed pain at his sister’s death, alleging that she died as a result of domestic violence.
He also disclosed that he had no idea what she was going through and that she “suffered in silence”.
Fiokee, born Ifiok Effanga, also urged victims of domestic violence to leave such relationships, adding that they should not wait till it was 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.
“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.”
“Justice will take its course, but no amount of punishment will bring my sister back. If this message can save even one life, then her death will not be in vain.”
