PMnews reported that an unidentified
middle-aged woman has been reportedly attacked and raped to death by suspected
Fulani cattle rearers in Edo state.
The victim, who was said to be in company of
her 18-year old son, was said to have been attacked by the hoodlums while
returning from farm at Odighi community in Ovia North East local government
area of Edo State.
Her son was reported to have
escaped while his mother was raped to death.
Following the bizarre incident by the
suspected cattle rearers, some farmers in the community reportedly lodged
complaint at the Ekiadolor Divisional police headquarters.
The body of the deceased has
since been recovered by men of the Ekiadolor police division.
Edo State Police Command
Public Relations officer (PPRO), DSP Noble Uwoh who confirmed the incident said
three suspects have been arrested.
He gave the names of the
suspects simply as Mohammed, Isah and Yusuf.
“The woman along with her
18-year old son was accosted while returning from farm.
Her son managed to escape
My Take:
The Edo State Government must take the issue
serious and look into it with a view of bringing to book quickly and decisively
those involved in the incident. What our country does not need at this time or any other is a replica
of what is happening in some part of India and Pakistani, where men are gang
rape women without any fear of been apprehended by those in authority and brought to justice for their
wicked crime. This has to stop NOW.
