Human right activist, Elder Sughnem Yaaya, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 after he received a message from the victim’s sister.

 

According to the message, the victim, who lives with her aunt in Taraba State, said their married neighbour has been making romantic overtures to her but she always ignored him.

 

Three days ago, the girl was sent to buy something from the neighbour’s shop.

 

The girl said she didn’t know the man was the only one in the house so she entered when a voice ushered her in.

 

Upon entering the house, the man locked the door, saying he would finally get what he had been looking for.

 

“He used his hand to close her mouth. She managed to bite him and he let his hand off her mouth, then she started screaming. Immediately, the wife came from nowhere and without even asking or listening for explanations, she started biting my sister. The husband rushed to stop her and my sister escaped,” the woman explained.

 

“My sister then went home and told my aunty, and she confronted her with explanations and they thought it had ended.

 

“So yesterday when the woman noticed no one was home, she entered my aunt’s house and attacked my sister with a knife and a razor blade.

 

“She shocked in the neck and made sure she destroyed my sister’s face with blood. Her whole face is damaged with knife wounds. She’s currently in a hospital.”
