The people of Mbiri kingdom,
in Ika North East Local
Government Area are now
living in fear following the
gruesome murder of 18-year-
old girl, Miss Faith Ijeamaka,
who was beheaded with her
breasts and genitals cut off. It
was gathered from the
bereaved family that Faith’s
body was found mutilated
along a farm road in Mbiri,
days after she went missing
last month. According to the
statement made by the family,
“we resorted to consulting a
soothsayer after days passed
without knowing the
whereabouts of Faith.”
This is coming on the heels of
the killing of a 22-year-old
man, Mr. Godstime Okoh, a.k.a.
GT, by yet-to-be identified
cultists. The indigene of Ute-
Okpu, in Ika North-East Local
Government Area, was
reportedly gunned down
alongside his friend, Kester,
two Saturdays ago at Dorathy
by Okobi Street, Boji-Boji,
Owa. Speaking with newsmen
during a visit to the residence
of the deceased, his mother,
Mrs. Doris Okoh said that her
son was neither a cultist nor
had anything to do with cult
members, but wondered why
he was killed in his prime. In
her words: “My son, Godstime,
has been a very good and
obedient child to me. Since we
have been living together, I
have never found or suspected
Godstime to be a member of
any cult group.”
