A Facebook user, Charles Ile Umoru wrote, “This innocent woman, Mrs. Rose Eneojoh—wife to my brother-in-law—was gruesomely murdered last night at Etikpolo Anyigba. The killers told her and her husband that they were paid 200,000 Naira to assassinate her.
“She offered them more money in exchange for her life; they took the money from them and still went ahead to shoot her, leaving the husband and 5 young children in misery. How long should this continue in Igala land?”
