•I don’t know why my daughter was cruelly murdered –Dad and delicious soup served him by his 20-year-old daughter, Glory, that Saturday at Imwena quarters in Otuo community in the Owan East Local Gov
ernment Area of Edo State.
After an hour of futile search, Idia asked them again if they had found her but none suspected him as one of those behind Glory’s disappearance. Unknown to the Ohioles, Glory’s dismembered body was at the time lying in a bucket in Idia’s room; her throat slit, heart removed, pubic hairs shaved and stomach ripped open. The murder was done in such a way that no grunt or struggle was heard by the neighbours.
“We saw the knife used to kill the girl. Her blood was collected in a bowl with blood spillage on the floor,’’ said Ogbonwe Ben, head of the vigilance group called to the scene by the Divisional Police Officer, Otuo Police Station, Mr Mathew Asemo. Our correspondent gathered that after Glory was murdered, her vital organs were removed and taken to an Okene woman in another area in Otuo.
Ben said, “On Sunday night, I received a call from the DPO of Otuo. He said I should organise my boys to Imwena quarters to witness what was happening there. I immediately called some of my members and we met in my house before moving to the place. When we got there, I saw the dismembered parts of the girl. Her private part removed, stomach ripped open and the heart cut. I felt sad because it was not the first time such a thing would happen in the community.
Speaking about the incident, the Ovie of Otuo, Julius Ojeabuo, said it was the DPO who informed him that the vigilantes had arrested those responsible for Glory’s death. She was also an apprentice cloth designer, a training she was already three years into and about to graduate this year.
