A man identified as Nwang has reportedly killed his girlfriend, Moshe, in a farm and concealed her body in the bush over alleged infidelity, authorities said.

The deceased, who hailed from Ibil community, had been cohabiting with the suspect from Ekpugrinya, 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, expressing grief. “Moshe, may your spirit find peace while your killer faces justice,” she added, tears running down her cheeks.

The suspect has been arrested and is currently in police custody. However, at the time of filing this report, a large group of women had besieged the Ogoja Divisional Police Station, demanding 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 protesting women.

A source at the Ogoja Police Station said the Divisional Police Officer was unavailable for comment and stated that the police would not accede to the demands of the women protesters.
