On her Facebook page, Nurse Retyit Edmond said she had been getting messages from people who thought she was the military wife in question.
She wrote in her Facebook post:
“DISCLAIMER!!! In light of the unfortunate event that led to the death of Dr Samson Haruna, I am compelled to dispell the rumor that I am the said wife who set him ablaze.
“I coincidentally bear the same name with her and we are both nurses ,working with Plateau State hospital management board, but the misconception that I am the one is untrue.
“I have received numerous calls with insults and threats as per the one who set my husband ablaze. Kindly disregard this false statement as I am incapable of such act. My name is Retyit Inuwa Edmond and her name is Retyit Haruna. “Please help share to neutralize the lies against me. Rest in peace my good friend.”
In the comment section, she added:
“I was attacked thinking the said person is me, I was advised to stay indoors yesterday because of this. I have no choice than to clear the air. Thanks for ur submission.”
