An 18-year-old teenage boy identified as Daddy has been arrested by the operatives of the Rivers State Police Command for allegedly beheading a mother and her daughter in Ibaa community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
According to Punch Metro, the suspect was arrested on Thursday by angry youths of Ibaa who emptied into the bushes in the area in search of the suspected killer who allegedly murdered Mrs. Cecilia Wojile and her first daughter, Miss Blessing Wojile.
It was gathered that the suspect had used a machete to chop off his victims’ heads around 6:00am, while the duo who sold cooked food, were preparing for market.
A source said some youths in Ibaa were mobilised to capture the suspect in his hideout within the community, and when the youths apprehended Daddy, the security men in the area whom he earlier escaped from, shot him in the leg before sending him to the Rumuji Divisional Police headquarters
Speaking to a correspondent, a source in the community who identified himself as Kenneth, said that the suspect had on several occasions broken into the home of Wojiles to steal, adding that when Mrs. Wojile arrested Daddy for the act, the suspect vowed to kill her.
When contacted over the development, the victim’s eldest son, Mr. Isaiah Wojile, said the suspect met her mother while she was in the room and killed her.
“The development is painful. I never imagined that human beings could be this wicked. Daddy killed my mother and my own sister as if they are goats.
“The only thing I demand is justice. He who takes the life of another, his will be taken as well. I want the police to investigate the matter, fetch out the culprit and make him to face the wrath of the law,” Isaiah said.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer at the State Criminal Investigation Department confirmed that they had received a case file established by Rumuji Divisional headquarters and promised to swing into action to arrest and prosecute the alleged killer of the mother and daughter.
Also speaking, the command’s spokesperson, Nnamdi Omoni, said the command was aware of the incident and promised full scale investigation to unravel the circumstance behind the murder.
