Abutu said: “On February 9, 2025, at about 19:10 hours, one Toyin Moses of Odo-Emure Street, Emure-Ekiti, came in distress to Emure Divisional Police Headquarters and reported that her husband, one Joshua Moses, before embarking on a journey to Oka-Akoko in Ondo State, instructed their daughter, Faith Moses, to go check his trap in his farm along Okeseri Road, Emure-Ekiti.
“According to her, while the girl went to the farm to check the trap, she went with her younger brother, a five-year-old Testimony Moses.
“On getting to the farm, information from the younger brother who escaped from the scene has it that two men accosted them and threatened to either have carnal knowledge of Faith Moses or kill her.
“She refused and struggled with them and in the process, they brought out two cutlasses, slit her throat, and cut off her right hand.”
