A 70-year-old man, Mr Aghanti and his 50-year-old daughter, Mrs Atagoshi, have been reportedly beheaded in a bush at Amai community, Ukwuani Local Government Area, Delta State over a suspected land dispute.
Confirming the incident, Police Public Relations Officer of the State Command, SP Bright Edafe, said the headless bodies of both father and daughter were said to have been found after they were called by the suspect, to come with him into the bush.
โThe assailant had โcalled the woman that he wanted to have a discussion with her about the land.He now took them to Amai community bush, killed them and cut off their heads.
โOn that same day (Friday) the vigilante caught one Emeke with two human heads, so he was mobbed and burnt to death. When the people checked, they found out that the human heads were those of the father and the daughter.
It was learnt that Mrs Atagoshi, a secondary school teacher, had bought a piece of land in the community with some persons allegedly later claiming ownership of it.
