Suspected robbers at the weekend reportedly strangled an Enugu State indigene resident in Kwara State.
The victim, a widow, identified as Florence Ede, was a food seller when she came to the community in 1985, but became a commercial farmer after the death of her husband.
The incident happened on her farm in Chikanda, a border community in Baruten Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking on the incident, a member of the Igbo community in Chikanda, Mr. Mayor Akonobi, said the deceased, popularly known as Mama do good was strangled by the assailants, who had trailed her to the farm.
Akonobi told the Punch that the robbers also carted away 12 bags of rice harvested from the victim’s farm.
“She had a huge amount of money on her and had wanted to pay the labourers before she was killed,” Akonobi added, noting that the only guard at the farm when the incident occurred ran away when the assailants attacked her.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, said the police had commenced investigation into the death of the mother of four.
“The guard and the labourers have been arrested. They are helping us with our investigation,” the PPRO stated.
