“This innocent woman, Mrs. Rose Eneojoh, wife to my brother-in-law, was gruesomely murdered last night at Etikpolo Anyigba. The killers told her and her husband that they were paid N200,000 to assassinate her. She offered them more money to spare her life, they took the money and still went ahead to shoot her, leaving the husband and five young children in misery. How long should this continue in Igala Land?” Umoru lamented in his post.
The community has been left in shock and outrage, with many calling for justice and an end to the rising violence in the region.
