A woman, Onise Ismail,
has been murdered by an unknown assailant at her residence in Citec Estate,
Mbora, Jabi bypass, Abuja.
The deceased,
popularly known as Ize, was reportedly stabbed several times in her chest and
in the neck till she gave up the ghost.
She was buried on
Sunday amidst wailing by her family and friends who thronged the cemetery in
Abuja.
Ize, who was living
alone, was said to have fired her driver and gateman a week before her brutal murder.
Our correspondent learnt
the incident occurred on May 14, 2018 when the woman who was said to
be in her late 20’s stepped out of the house to put on her generator due
to power outage.
It was gathered that
her attacker struck in the night when he knew she would be alone in the house.
A family source, who
spoke on condition of anonymity, explained that after stabbing her to death,
the assailant dumped her body in her room and ransacked the house for valuables
before fleeing.
“We learnt that a
neighbour heard her pleading with her assailant not to kill her, but he (the
neighbour) was too scared to intervene. By the time he went to check on her,
she had given up the ghost and her assailant had fled. The yard and the room
was soaked with the blood of the deceased,” the source narrated.
It was gathered that
detectives had commenced investigation into the homicide and a number of
suspects had also been arrested.
When contacted, the Federal Capital Territory Police
spokesman, Anjuguri Manzah, promised to speak on the development but he had yet
to respond to phone calls and text message as of the time of filing this
report.
