Her reaction was: “I don’t think they will do anything. They can only talk for a few days and enter their rooms. But I am not bothered. I gave my word that come rain, come sun, I am going to support him (Chief MKO Abiola), even it it is going to take my life.”
In the course of the interview, she added: “What do they want me to do? Do they want me to drag myself on the floor for them for what is supposed to be our right? I will not do it. I will rather d!e than give up the struggle.”
She also had dreams of how she was shøt by agents of the military government. Then, the th3eats started coming. And she severally announced to the world that she was being th3eatened.
