Mrs. Eunice Aghanya, wife of a retired Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Ibe Aghanya, was on Friday murdered at her residence in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
Ibe Aghanya, former Commissioner of Police Benue and Kogi states before he was elevated to DIG in charge of zone 2, confirmed the incident.
He said he was informed about his wife’s murder at his Makurdi residence on Friday.
“They killed her, locked her in the room and made away with the key,” he said.
Aghanya said the killing of his wife has nothing to do with his service in Benue State as police officer.
He said late wife lived all her life in Benue State as a business woman who, through her Eunny Land Bakery, gave many youths employments.
The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Catherine Anene, also confirmed the incident.
She said the victim was killed by unknown gunmen at her Makurdi residence, behind Kismet Hotel, Friday afternoon.
She said the Police had since commenced investigation into the incident.
