A housewife living in Oke Akute Area, Iba, Osun State, named simply as Adijat, died on Thursday at an undisclosed hospital in Iree, where she was being treated for gunshot wounds.
According to Iba sources, the woman was shot while having a bath at her home about 10 p.m. on Tuesday.
Adijat, a Fulani by tribe, was rushed to a private hospital in Iree, where she had been admitted since Tuesday. She was nursing a three-month-old infant at the time of her death.
While reacting, an Iba local who requested anonymity stated that the incident sparked fear in Iree and that the person died in the early hours of Thursday.
“The reason, why they shot her, was unclear to the residents,” he added. Unknown people shot her at 10 p.m. on Tuesday. They attacked her when she was in the bathroom.
“She was rushed to a private hospital in Iree on Tuesday evening, but she died shortly after 5 a.m. today.” I noticed some police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officers at the crime scene. She was shot a day later. “We’re all terrified.”
When reached, Kehinde Adeleke, the spokesperson for the NSCDC in Osun, said operatives from the command had visited the area and that other security agencies were also involved.
