Vanguard learned that the suspect 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. According to the source, “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 said 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,” he added. When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu, confirmed the story, saying the command was still investigating the matter. 25 Shares 2131 johnabayomi2 View all posts by johnabayomi2 → Previous Post Fayose Ekiti to build N200m artisans’ village — Fayose Next Post Soldiers flog, boot protesting women in Delta You might also like Ayobo ATM robbery: Police parade medical doctor, pastor, 2 others Ayobo ATM robbery: Police parade medical doctor, pastor, 2 others DELSU dons to Christians: Stop demonizing Urhobo culture DELSU dons to Christians: Stop demonizing Urhobo culture Breaking: Why my son can’t marry Ese Breaking: Why my son can’t marry Ese Hunt for Tompolo’ll backfire —N Hunt for Tompolo’ll backfire —N My role in Ese Oruru's abduction saga My role in Ese Oruru's abduction saga Chibok girls alive; Many impregnated, carrying VVF, other diseases - Escapee Chibok girl reveals Chibok girls alive; Many impregnated, carrying VVF, other diseases - Escapee Chibok girl reveals Why I don't wear bras – Rising Ghanaian actress Why I don't wear bras – Rising Ghanaian actress Coach Sunday Oliseh: Our ‘Guardiola’ abandons ship Coach Sunday Oliseh: Our ‘Guardiola’ abandons ship Recommended by Disclaimer Comments expressed here do not reflect the opinions of vanguard newspapers or any employee thereof. 0 comments Livefyre Sign in 61 people listening Newest | Oldest Home News Sports Entertainment Text Size Small Medium Large Vanguard Logo Vanguard News A Nigerian newspaper and Online version of the Vanguard, a daily publication in Nigeria covering Niger delta, general national news, politics, business, energy, sports, entertainment, fashion,lifestyle human interest stories, etc © 2016 Vanguard Media Limited, Nigeria

REMINISCENT of the military era, about 10 soldiers flogged and used boots on hundreds of women protesting at Ovre-Eku (Iwevbo) community yesterday, over a land which had been in dispute for years between Edo and Delta states. The women, numbering over 500, wearing black clothing, had converged at Eku community from where they marched to the disputed land carrying a coffin covered in palm fronds to express their displeasure over alleged sale of the land to an oil company. Getting to the spot at about 10:45a.m., they were accosted by the soldiers, who ordered the women to leave the site. The women insisted on being addressed by a representative of the company. Angered by the stand of the women, a senior military officer identified to be the Unit Commander at the site, Lt. E. D. Oworobo, cocked his riffle, threatened to shoot and then ordered his men to flog the women. Two journalists, including a Vanguard correspondent, who had accompanied the protesting women, suffered the same fate. The soldiers chased the fleeing women into adjoining bushes at the site. The aged among the women, some in their 80s, who could not run, were trampled on by the soldiers and others flogged with tree stems. Unit Commander’s reaction When the Unit Commander, Lt. E. Oworobo, was contacted by this reporter to comment on the way and manner the women were treated, he described the reporter as an “idiot and a madman.” Meanwhile, the soldiers again went berserk at about 11:30a.m., invaded parts of Ovre-Eku community, destroyed nine motorcycles and 13 bicycles, while residents of the community fled, following the arrival of the soldiers in a white Toyota Hilux van. 34 Shares 321
