COLD MURDER: Gunmen kill 80-year-old German Missionary Woman in Delta State
An 80-year-old German missionary, Rev. Sr. Marcelina Alfra, popularly referred to as Regina Mundi, was attacked and murdered by unknown gunmen in Ogwashi-Uku, in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.
Mundi, who had lived in Ogwashi-Uku for about 50 years doing philanthropic and humanitarian works, was reportedly attacked by hoodlums. They got into the house through the roof and slashed her with machetes in the head.
She was rushed to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital where she died.
In his statement to the press, the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku condemned the act, lamenting that “some dissidents” in the community were behind the violence and killings that have engulfed the once peaceful community since
his installation as the traditional ruler.
He told journalists that "the dissidents" had orchestrated an atmosphere of violence during the annual Ine Festival, in which someone was killed, an incident that would have degenerated to a bloodbath had it not been averted.
Prof. Okonjo prayed God to forgive them for “they do not know what they do”, adding that ignorance and lack of exposure to civilization have kept certain people in the community backward.
