to fetch and forced her to carry the husband’s head in a bowl before taking it
away.
The horrified wife of the victim
narrated that after her husband, Chima was shot dead in her presence.
“My husband and and his sister,
Ogechi, were in the parlour when we heard the sound of a gun. I was startled.
As I made my way to another room in fright, I saw the lifeless body of my
husband. They barked at me that if I make any move to escape, I will be shot
dead too.
“They asked me to bring the
kitchen knife for them, which I did. They also asked me to bring a bowl, but I
brought a bucket. They took time in my presence, severed the head from the body
and forced me to carry the head and put it inside the bucket. They then carried
away the head,” she narrated in tears.
