Woman, 4-Year Old Daughter Assassinated In Benin, Police Suspects Landlady

This is painful! Suspected assailants have killed a woman,
identified as Itohan Enagbare, and her four-year-old daughter, Iwinosa, in
Benin, the Edo State capital. It was learnt that the incident occurred at the
residence of the deceased on Osaze Street, off Dumez Road.

It was gathered that the unknown assailants stormed the
28-year-old woman’s residence at about 1pm on Wednesday, dragged her outside
and stabbed her to death.

Sources said the four-year-old girl’s loud cry when her
mother was attacked also caused the killers to hack her to death before they
fled the scene.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Osifo,
confirmed the incident, adding that the landlady of the victims had been
arrested in connection with their death.

“There is one arrest so far; that is the landlady of the
late woman. Information got to the police that they had been having issues. And
since then, the woman (landlady) had been threatening the late woman.

“The landlady’s son, who is also a suspect, is on the run.
The landlady is in police custody and undergoing interrogation.” So sad.
