A joyous celebration turned into a nightmare for Mrs.
Maria Agbo and her daughter, Christiana, natives of Owukpa, as they faced a tragic end at the hands of ruthless kidnappers during what should have been a moment of happiness.
Mrs. Agbo had traveled to Abuja to attend to her daughter, who had recently given birth after a decade-long struggle with childlessness. Little did they know that their world would be shattered by a group of daring criminals.
According to reports, the family's life took a devastating turn when criminals stormed their home around Dei Dei two weeks ago, abducting Christiana, her mother, her husband, and the newborn baby.
Days later, the family received the heartbreaking news that Christiana and her mother had been killed, leaving the newborn baby callously abandoned in an undisclosed hospital. The husband, a soldier, endured brutal injuries but barely survived the harrowing ordeal.
Jane Ann, a niece of the deceased, shared the gut-wrenching account of the tragedy, struggling to comprehend the loss. She expressed her grief and disbelief at the senseless act that unfolded during what was meant to be a celebration of life.
Unable to fathom the circumstances surrounding her aunt's untimely death, Jane Ann questioned the motive behind the tragedy. She lamented, "Is she the first person to travel to her daughter’s house for omugo? Why did her life end during omugo? After a 10-year marriage with no child, they prayed to God for this child, and finally..."
The heart-wrenching incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability many families face, even during moments of supposed joy. The community mourns the loss of Mrs. Maria Agbo and Christiana, hoping for justice and an end to such heinous acts.
