Sylvester Adaji, a resident, said, “We saw her corpse in an isolated place on her farm. To our surprise, her head was cut off and taken away by her assailants. We could only recognise her by her wares. It was a gory sight, and a taboo on our land.”
The state police command’s spokesman, SP William Aya, who confirmed the incident, said, “One Sunday Ugbada of Ogoh Okpo was arrested in connection with the crime. One Itel phone belonging to the victim was recovered from the suspect.”
