“From what we heard, on that fateful day, Baba called her
out of the house around 7pm in the guise that he wanted to discuss an important
issue not knowing that disaster awaited her. Unfortunately when the lady
approached him, he engaged her in a heated argument which led to a struggle
between them. We heard that it was in the heat of the quarrel that Baba removed
a bottle containing a chemical suspected to be acid, from his pocket and poured
the contents on the lady who instantly screamed and fell to the ground,” the
source recounted.

Continuing, he said, “He (Baba) immediately fled the scene
and left the lady who was screaming and wailing for help. The passers-by who
were unaware of what was happening, ran for their lives because we all know
that Wadata is an area in Makurdi town that is known for cult activities. It
was neighbours who heard her cry, that rushed to the scene to see what was
happening. But before their arrival, Baba had fled and disappeared from the
area. She was immediately rushed to the nearby Makurdi Federal Medical Centre
where she was admitted for treatment. But after a while, went into coma and
eventually passed on.”
