GRAPHIC PHOTO: Man Allegedly Beheads 50-Year-Old Stepmother in Benue
A middle-aged man identified as Echeno Adakole allegedly beheaded his 50-year-old stepmother, Titi Enokela, for ritual purpose in Obaganya community, a suburb in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State yesterday morning.
According to Vanguard, the suspect had allegedly ambushed the victim at a family farm settlement, hit her with a piece of wood and cut off her head. He thereafter wrapped it with the dead woman’s cloth and put it in a polyethylene bag.
A source said,
“Family members noticed that the woman had not returned from the farm and it was getting dark. Her children and other family members went looking for her; they found her headless body tucked away in a corner of the family farm. They all raced back home wailing and crying for help, only to discover the severed head of the woman with her step-son, who was acting strange and making moves to flee from home.”
The source added that the suspect was held by a mob, who attempted to lynch him but for the quick intervention of police, who took him away.
“As a result of tension in the community, the Police Area Command hurriedly moved the suspect out of the area to the State Command Headquarters in Makurdi,” the source added.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu, confirmed the incident, adding that investigations are yet to be concluded.
What’s going on in the world today, people have lost their senses.
Too sad
Hmmmm
What a wicked world
I hate when police rescue people meant for lynching. God forgive me but people like this deserves instant death. They have no place among humans.
Pity
God forbid! For heavens sake what investigation are the police talking about? This is a clear and finish case so no need prolonging it.
Lord have mercy
