Monday, January 20, 2025 - A 70-year-old man, Mr Aghanti, and his daughter, Mrs Atagoshi, 50, were reportedly beh3aded over a land dispute in the Amai community, Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was gathered that Mrs Atagoshi, a secondary school teacher and a
pastor's wife, had earlier purchased a piece of land in the community, which
some individuals subsequently claimed.
Spokesperson
of the State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, who confirmed the incident said
that the assailant lured the victims into the bush under the pretext of
discussing the land issue and beheaded them.
“The suspect called
the woman, saying he wanted to discuss the land issue. He then took her and her
father into the bush, killed them, and beheaded them,” the PPRO said.
"On the same day, vigilantes apprehended one Emeke with two human
heads. He was mobbed and set ablaze by angry residents. Upon inspection, it was
discovered that the human heads belonged to the father and daughter.
“Their headless bodies were found in the bush.”
Edafe added that the main suspect is currently on the run, while efforts are ongoing to arrest him.
