Gunmen have reportedly beheaded a 40-year-old woman identified as Mrs Oghale Lucky Napoleon while working in her farm at Owodokpokpo-Igbide, an Isoko clan located in the Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The scene of the incident which occurred last week was said to be “a stone throw from Owodokpokpo Grammar School, Igbide.
Security Reporters.com gathered that her husband, Mr Napoleon, who was also attacked by the gunmen was only lucky to have escaped with bullet wounds.
The deceased according to sources, went to the farm with her husband and were both attacked by the gunmen.
The husband, however, escaped with gun wounds, as his wife was brutally murdered and beheaded at Owodokpokpo-Igbide.
Another source who pleaded anonymous said, “The security agents should unravel the killer of Mrs Oghale Lucky Napoleon, popularly called (Ine), and bring them to book”.
“It is no longer news that Okpolo-Enhwe launched an unwarranted and most gruesome attack on innocent Igbide farmers on Thursday 23 December 2021.
The Security operatives, government officials and Isoko Development Union(IDU) have all been notified of this attack.
“The recent aggression from Okpolo-Enhwe took everyone by surprise because in recent times there has been rapprochement of some sorts including marriages and social visits between both communities.
“On that fateful day, the source further revealed, the warmongers from Okpolo-Enhwe went to our bushes and ambushed an innocent couple on their farm; killed the wife while the husband escaped their onslaught by the whiskers with severe gun injuries, his wife.
“This is most callous and heinous.
“It must be noted that just like all previous attacks from them, this was also unprovoked and took everyone by surprise because, as mentioned earlier.
There have been visits between both communities. The sad incident took place just a stone throw from Owodokpokpo Grammar School, Igbide. To confirm their preparedness for war, just yesterday, 24th December 2021, from about 9.15pm through the wee hours of the night, they embarked on heavy shooting towards Igbide.
“Igbide community has remained calm amidst these acts of aggression and provocation.
The security operatives who visited to have an on-the-spot assessment can attest to this fact.
We wish to let the world know that Igbide remains resolute to the peace process. We passionately appeal to the security authorities to fish out those behind the gruesome murder and subject them to the full wrath of the law as doing so will deter others who revel in taking innocent lives while hiding under communal crisis. We pray for lasting peace to reign in our lands.”
The Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, DSP Bright Edafe, could not be reached for confirmation of the incident at the time of filing this report.
