Preparations for the dedication of the two months old son of Mrs Loricia Onunkwo, a Bauchi-based Igbo business woman, scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 9 at the Our Lady of Loretto Catholic Church, Fadama Mada Parish, Bauchi, turned to a nightmare for the Onunkwo family when the nursing mother was brutally killed by gunmen .
The killing, which took place on October 14, threw the Igbo community in Bauchi into mourning and wailing.
It was learnt that the victim, a mother of four, was a successful hybrid dealer in poultry farming in Bauchi.
On that fateful day that Mrs Onunkwo was murdered, Sunday Vanguard gathered that two gunmen trailed her after she closed for the day’s business at around 7 pm and was heading to her residence in Fadama Mada, a predominantly Muslim populated area.

When the deceased arrived at her residence, she horned for her children to open the gate in order to drive in her car. The gunmen, who were following her, were said to have entered into the house after the children opened the gate.
