Tragedy struck at the weekend when a middle-aged woman was
allegedly butchered at Agbor in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State
by a man identified as Sunny, who is now in police custody. The assailant laid
ambush for the victim for about two days at the particular spot along
Agbor-Sakponba Road where he dragged her out of her ash color Toyota saloon car
and descended on her. According to the source, the victim was going to attend a burial
ceremony at Oki on the fateful day before the attacker bounced to snuff breath
out of her nostrils, adding that the charred remains of the victim were
deposited at the mortuary.
“The murder was so callous. The suspect used cutlass to cut her
ear, stomach, buttocks, back, laps and spread her legs on the road, exposing
her private part. We have never seen a thing like this before,” the source
said. The source added that as the assailant was descending on the
victim, she was shouting 'Sunny' which attracted people to the scene but their
intervention was too late, noting however that the intervention of policemen
saved the assailant from being lynched by angry mob.
“When the mob gathered and saw the lifeless woman in the pool of
her blood, they attacked the assailant who was still holding his blood stained
cutlass. They even broke his head before the police came and took him away,”
the source narrated.
Investigation revealed that the victim who resided at Asaba was
billed to attend the burial ceremony on Thursday but put off the journey as her
vehicle developed fault which led to her changing the four tyres. It was further gathered that by Saturday, she decided to embark on
the ill-fated journey but at the spot where the assailant laid ambush between
Aliagwai and Agbor-Nta communities, he emerged and stood at the front of the
vehicle, forcing the victim to apply the brakes.
The assailant who was dressed in complete black attire was said to
have opened the door of the vehicle and dragged the woman out, brought a
cutlass and started cutting her body parts, amidst shouts, till she gave up the
ghost.
Another source has it that the victim was a cake designer who was
going to a wedding at Agbor-Nta where she was supposed to deliver a baked cake
before the assailant attacked her. According to the source, the victim had beckoned on the suspect
for direction “but instead, the man smashed her windscreen with his cutlass.
When the woman came down to ask what was amiss, the man descended on her with
his cutlass.”
