There was outrage, yesterday, in Oghara, Delta State, following the murder of a minor, Egwono Adams, whose head was hacked off her body.
Adams was yesterday beheaded by some unknown men who accosted by her in the early hours at Scott Road, close to Okwemeva Junction in Ogharaefe before killing her.
Sources said they heard her screaming that early morning, but were too scared to come out, before she suddenly went quiet.
The source added “The incident happened at about 5 am, few poles away from the Council Secretariat. Only God knows where she was coming from but people around here said they heard her shouting that they should open the door for her, that some persons were after her until she went quiet. When we woke, we saw this” (pointing to the corpse).
A police source at the Sapele Police Area command confirmed the incidence and maintained that the police have launched a search for the culprits..
The source said the police have arrested a woman, who aided her husband that was a suspect, to escape.
“He is a suspect and we have information about him, that he is fond of threatening people with cutlass and even beheaded a goat yesterday, but we were closing on him when his wife led him through the back door to escape, so we held her and after some time, let her go”
Residents says Egwono’s killing is the third in six weeks.
They cried to the Commissioner of Police, Mohammad Mustafa, and the Delta State government to tighten security in the area, pointing accusing fingers at community leaders and security chiefs for collecting money from these Yahoo boys whom they believe are behind the killing.
