Suspected herdsmen have beheaded a farmer, Ndubuisi Uzoma in his farm at Iddo community along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road, Abuja.

His corpse was found by his relatives who had been worried after he refused to return home.

According to his sister, Chidinma Umeh, the deceased had earlier complained about issues he was having with some herdsmen who were destroying his crops.

“I lost my brother on Saturday, he left in the morning and till night, I didn’t see him and I told my husband about it. We went to his farm to search for him, that was when I saw blood and I shouted, ‘Jesus, my brother is gone.’ Look at my brother’s corpse, there is no head, it’s been cut off, they beheaded my brother,” she sobbed.

She said no one has been arrested even after reporting to the police.

She said, “They have killed my brother. We went to the police to report and my husband also visited the chief to inform him about it, but no one has been arrested.

“He was a graduate, he was engaging in farming because he could not secure a job. If he was working in the office, he wouldn’t have died like that.”

The deceased brother-in-law, Umeh also said, “On Saturday night when I came back from work around 11.30pm, because I closed late, l met my wife and son going out, she said they were going to look for her brother. I said maybe he was with some of his friends to watch football match on the television.

“Because the farm is far, we decided to go there the next day. At the farm, my wife saw blood and she shouted. We went to the police and we got a vehicle to evacuate the body to the mortuary. Ndubuisi didn’t have problem with anyone, he only complained about the encroachment on his farm by Fulani herdsmen and I believe they killed him.”
