The OLOMORO village in Delta State’ s Isoko South Local Government Area was thrown into disarray after an old woman was reportedly beaten to death by a suspected ruitualist, according to Vanguard.
The deceased, whose identity could not be confirmed as of press time, was resting in her home in the Ukoli neighborhood of the village when she died suddenly.
The woman, who is thought to be in her eighties, was discovered in a pool of her own blood in the early hours of today, with pieces of her body missing, according to sources. Women thronged the streets of the neighborhood in protest at the octagenarian’ s horrible murder, causing pandemonium in the area.
How The Body Of The Victim Was Discovered
A woman was killed this morning, and the community is accusing a child of killing her because the woman’ s handbag was discovered in his hands. When they saw the sack he was carrying, they beat the child unconscious. ” During this time, the cops arrived and brought the situation under control, ” a person who requested anonymity said.
It is awful that individuals can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed these days because of deaths here and there, mostly for ritual purposes, ” another insider said. The government can no longer ensure the safety of citizens’ lives and property.
Mr Bright Edafe, the State Command’ s Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the occurrence, saying, ” A woman was slain, but no portion of her corpse was missing. From what we discovered, the suspect who killed the woman is mentally unstable, ” Edafe said, adding that the woman’ s remains had been deposited in the mortuary by the police.
How A Suspected Ritualist Disguised As A Lunatic Was Burned Alive In Delta
In a related news, an irate mob in Ughelli, Delta State’ s Ughelli North Local Government Area, killed a suspected ritualist who was allegedly feigning mental illness in the village. The suspect garnered the mob’ s attention when he was seen holding a ” expensive Android phone” among a swarm of people patronizing a merchant in front of a public elementary school in the region, according to witnesses.
Some people apparently tried to approach the guy, but he ripped out the SIM card from the phone, swallowed it, and fled the area. Everyone was amazed that a man with a mental problem would have such a phone, according to a man who claimed to be an eyewitness and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
At first, everyone assumed he stole the phone from someone in the throng, but when he started running and swallowed the SIM card, it was evident he wasn’ t insane. ” He was apprehended, and they began thrashing him in order to extract information from him, ” the insider continued.
How The Suspect Was Caught
According to the source, some onlookers claimed that the suspect had previously been arrested by police in the Ughelli division for swallowing his SIM card after being caught on the phone with an unknown person.
According to a tricycle operator who spoke on the condition of anonymity, he was caught alongside the suspect and that the incident occurred two weeks ago. When we arrived at the station, they learned from bank messages on the phone that the suspect had over N12 million in his bank account, ” he explained.
I was freed a few hours later due to a license issue, so I have no idea what happened after that. ” A few days later, I was astonished to see the same suspected insane person. According to Punch, the crowd then set fire to the suspect to prevent the cops from rescuing him.
DSP Bright Edafe, the state police public relations officer, confirmed the occurrence. One individual was set ablaze in the Ughelli neighborhood by a mob, ” he stated, ” but the motivation for the event is yet unknown.
