There was pandemonium in New Era Area
of Jalingo, Taraba State, yesterday when
an 85-year-old Mama Laraba’s lifeless
body was found by the site of her farm
with her two eyes removed.
A resident of the area, who spoke to
LEADERSHIP on the ugly incident, said
that Mama Laraba who had left her home
to the farm at 7am on Saturday, did not
return home until late night when her
neighbours joined her two daughters to
search for her at the farm.
“After 24 hours that Mama Laraba did not
return home from the farm, the two
daughters and other neighbours who
traced her to the farm, discovered that
she was assassinated with the two of her
eyes mutilated” an eye witness said.
Also speaking to our correspondent on
the incident, Pastor Jummai Kefas who is
one of the diseased’s daughter, said that
their aged mother on Saturday left her
home to her farm around Jenibambu to
harvest her millet when she was killed by
the assassins.
“We noticed that all was not well when
Mama did not return at the usual time
that she do come back from the farm.
When fear and suspicious engulfed our
heart, we mobilized and went to look for
her. On getting to the farm, we recovered
her dead body by the side of the farm
with the two eyes removed by unknown
killers,” she stressed.
Another resident of the area, Mr. Badong
Mago, who narrated the devilish act,
described her killers as heartless and
wicked. When contacted on the incident,
