The woman crying out for justice
News gathered while speaking exclusively with Vanguard as she narrate her story in
Tiv, a woman identified as Cecilia Emberga Agammbuee, whose three
children were beheaded on October 30 at Disol village in Gasol local
government area of Taraba State by yet to be identified men, has cried
out for justice.
Information reveal that the woman who disclosed that she now has only one child left, said
the three slain children were her 10-year-old girl, identified as
Terdors, who is also the eldest; 8-year-old Terna Embelga, a boy; and
another girl, Sulumshima Embelga, 6.
According to her, the three of them went to have their bath in a
nearby stream called Jookwa alongside eight other children in the
evening of October 30.
“When they (all the 11 children) finished swimming, they decided to fetch water with their buckets for their use at home.
“On their homeward journey along the bush path, two men
suddenly emerged from a farm rice and grabbed one of my three children
in the group by the neck.
“While the other children in the group threw away the buckets
of water they were carrying amid the ambush and ran for their dear
lives, my two other children decided to fight back and rescue their
sibling from the assailants.
“The escaped children brought the news home. Immediately, my
husband, fellow villagers and I mobilised to the scene of the attack
where we found the headless bodies of the three children in the pool of
their blood. It was horrifying.
“Beholding the headless bodies, I thought I would die. There were other items lying on the ground at the scene of the crime.
“The items include a weird looking cap, substances believed to be hard drugs and a blood stained shirt.
“We didn’t see the heads of the children. They may have been taken away for ritual purposes.
“I had four children. With three of them killed in cold blood, I
am left with only one that I am breastfeeding. It all shows the
seriousness of the insecurity in the land,” she narrated.
Taraba State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP David
Misal, confirmed the incident and said the command was investigating the
crime, adding that no arrest has been made so far.
