A man identified as Nwang has reportedly killed his girlfriend, Moshe, in a farm and concealed her body in the bush over allegations of infidelity, authorities confirmed.
The deceased, a native of Ibil community, had been cohabiting with the suspect from Ekpugrinya, located about eight kilometres away, without a formal engagement or payment of bride price, her family stated.
“The man brutally killed my cousin in the farm even though he had not paid the bride price or observed customary rites,” said Joy Philip, a cousin of the deceased. “Moshe, may your spirit find peace while your killer faces justice,” she added, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The suspect has been arrested and is currently in police custody.
However, tensions escalated as a large group of women besieged the Ogoja Divisional Police Station, demanding that the suspect be released to them for vigilante justice.
“Cruelty like this exists because the system has failed us. The man snuffed the life out of another human being and does not deserve to live. We are ready to deliver justice ourselves,” said Uduma, one of the protesters.
A source at the Ogoja Police Station said the Divisional Police Officer was unavailable for comment but emphasized that the police would not accede to the demands of the women protesters.
Authorities assured that the case is under investigation and that due legal process will be followed.
