A woman identified as Cecilia Emberga Agmmbuee has cried out to the government of Taraba state for justice after 3 of her children were beheaded by unknown men at Disol Village in Gasol Local Government Area of the state.
According to report, Cecilia whose children were beheaded on the 30th of October revealed that she had only one child left.
It was gathered that her children Terdors, a 10-year-old girl, Terna, 8-year-old boy and Sulumshima, a 6-year-old girl, went to have thier bath in a nearby stream called Jookwa alongside eight other children.
She said: “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 rice farm 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 had been made so far.
