Na serious gbege as inquest for late footballer Maddy Cusack don enter long delay!
This one no be joke matter o, because Sheffield United wey be the team wey she play for, dey drag leg like person wey no wan go get water for village square. Family wey dey represent Maddy talk say dem dey vex say club don waste their time with 699 pages of documents just before Christmas. Abeg, na wetin dem wan make dem do with all that wahala during festive period?
Coroner Sophie Cartwright wey dey oversee the matter don apologize to the family for the stress, but she no believe say na Sheffield United dey cause all the wahala. Barrister wey dey represent the club, Joseph O’Brien, don come out dey reject any allegation of non-compliance, come talk say all this complaints na misplaced. But the family no gree o, dem dey shout say dem no fit prepare well for the inquest because of waiting the club do.
Dem talk say the inquest get reschedule date for June 29, so we dey look forward to how e go play out. Barrister wey dey represent the family, Dean Armstrong, don drop bombshell say Sheffield United completely ignore deadline wey dem give dem wey be November 28. Chai! This kind thing fit scatter person brain as dem dey find closure for the death of their loved one.
As we dey talk now, we hear say some players don give witness statement wey show say the club’s former manager Jonathan Morgan dey exhibit some kind bullying behavior. One player talk say Morgan don call Maddy ‘psycho’ before, wetin be this one now? Another player go even shout say she feel say Morgan na cause of Maddy dey feel like say na wahala dey follow am.
Morgan, wey don represent himself without lawyer, dey claim say na manipulated evidence dey happen. E talk say the witnesses assemble by the family no sabi wetin dem dey talk, but the family don reject that one, say dem no dey play any game but simply dey find justice for their paddy. Wish na the case for how the team don handle the whole matter, the coroner don mention say dem go need to make some redactions before the inquest go fit happen. Wahala no dey finish!
Anyway, e go be two weeks of serious talk and we dey hope say this matter go end well for the family as dem dey seek for answers and closure. Maddy deserves better na!
