Tension has now overtaken the rural community of Umuduruegwele Umueze 2 in
Ehime Mbano LGA of Imo State following reports of raping and killing of a
mother of five, Mrs Esther David in her farm.
According to some villagers, the woman had gone to her farm to fetch palm fruits harvested for her when she was waylaid and raped by her victim whose identity is unknown yet.
One of the villagers who spoke on condition of anonymity said “She nearly lifted few bunches into her wheelbarrow when the rapist who had laid ambush for the woman pounced on her and dragged her into a farmland.
“The woman’s husband and children became apprehensive at about 4pm when she had not returned home and began a frantic search for her. They rushed back home and raised an alarm after sighting only her wheelbarrow in the farm.
“ Villagers then went back in search of the woman and brought her body home" he stated.
The traditional ruler of the community, Eze Dan Emereonye is yet to speak on the matter, while efforts to speak to the Imo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Andrew Enwerem was not successful.
