Charles
Okah's daughter Tarila is set to wed her fiance Domenico Morrone. She
visited her father at Kuje prison with her fiance where he blessed their
union. It should be recalled that Charles Okah is currently in prison
for allegedly masterminding October 1st 2010 bomb blast in Abuja.
Speaking
on her meeting with her dad, Tarila told the Nation that it was
overwhelming visiting her dad in prison.According to her,she cried with
her sister when they met him in prison.
"Oh… my goodness
(laugh). It was overwhelming, especially for my sister. She is younger,
she just turned 18. When we saw him, we just started crying because we
saw our father in a totally different light. That is not the man, let me
rephrase, that is not the circumstance or the situation anyone wants to
see his or her father. That was the first time my fiancé was meeting
him as well. That is not the way you want to take your future husband to
meet your father. That is not how you want to get your father’s
blessing for your marriage. I am seeing him in a completely different
light. Deep down inside, I know the man that he is. I know these are
trumped up charges. That gives me peace. Obviously, a lot of people have
judged him, condemned him even without knowing anything but he is my
father and we know him. We know the kind of man that he is. He is
jovial. He is a very lovely man. He puts people above him. We are
talking about a man who made emergency rescue in the country like it is
his mission. A man who will stop people in the middle of the street and
tell them you don’t need to have your child in the front seat, move him
to the back. A man who was supplying dialysis machine, putting health
and concerns of Nigerians above all; a man who took it on himself to
save lives in Nigeria, covering a lot of accidents. You now come and
accuse such a man of being responsible for a terrorist attack. When we
got to the prison and they told us to write his offence as terrorism, I
couldn’t."
