A tragic incident has occurred in the Aji community of Enugu-Ezike, located in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area, Enugu State, where a woman allegedly killed her younger sister using a cutlass.
Reports also indicate that she attempted to harm both her mother and her younger sister’s child.
While the exact timing of the event remains unclear, eyewitnesses in a widely circulated video suggest that the suspect may have been under some form of influence.
Witnesses reported that the woman admitted to being possessed by an unusual entity. In a video shared on Facebook by Anyika TV, she stated, “I was possessed by a strange being; it was not me that did it.”
The video captured the suspect’s confession, showing her in a visibly distressed state. She asserted that her actions were beyond her control, claiming to have been driven by an unseen force.
“I don’t know what came over me; I just saw myself with the cutlass, and I started attacking them,” she said.
Her mother and niece, who were also attacked, have been rushed to Bishop Shanahan Hospital in Nsukka, where they are currently battling for their lives.
A family member expressed shock and devastation, saying:
"We are shocked and devastated by this incident; we don’t know what could have led her to do such a thing.”
Attempts to reach the Enugu State Police Command were unsuccessful, as the Command’s spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, was unavailable at the time of filing this report.
However, sources indicate that the police in Igbo-Eze North have launched an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
