A tragic incident has thrown the Kafin Tafawa community on the outskirts of Bauchi metropolis into mourning, following the gruesome murder of a widow, Salomi Benjamin.
Her lifeless body was discovered on her farm, about two kilometers from her residence.
According to her third son, Simeon, Mama Salomi left home for her farm around 8 a.m. but never returned.
Concerned about her whereabout, the family began a search, only to find her dead in the evening, lying lifeless in her farm.
“This time, it is not about a clash between farmers and herders,” the source clarified.
Alex Markus, a neighbor to the deceased, described the killing as both tragic and senseless. He praised the prompt response of the Yelwa Divisional Police Officer but urged authorities to intensify efforts in uncovering those behind the heinous act.
At the time of filing this report, the Bauchi State Police Command had not officially commented on the incident, despite efforts to reach them.
