Daughter
of former Military Administrator of Kano and Plateau states, Brigadier
General Dominic Oneya, Franca Oneya, was, on Friday, killed by suspected
armed robbers. The incident occurred along Ovie Palace Road, Effurun,
when the victim was said to be returning from one of the new generation
banks located along PTI Road where she had gone to withdraw money.
The
killing led to pandemonium at Effurun, the administrative headquarters
of Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, when the gunmen, said to
be numbering about five, waylaid and shot the mother-of-four, who was in
her early 30s, to death.
There
have been worries over the dwindling security situation in Warri and
environs since the commencement of the “ember months” in September.
A
source told us that the daughter of the one-time president of the
Nigeria Football Association (NFA) was waylaid few kilometers from the
retired General’s house and shot her dead, while the assailants and
bolted away with the cash.
“The
incident happened at about 10:40am today (by KW junction). I saw
residents and passersby scrambling for safety. Multiple gunshots rent
the air. By the time the robbers were done, a pretty young lady lay in a
pool of blood, on the driver’s seat. A neighbour, with whom we all
rushed to the scene of the incident identified the victim as the
daughter of a notable politician in the state,” another eyewitness
narrated.
A
family member of the Oneyas, Godwin Oghenede, who is an uncle to the
late military General’s daughter, confirmed the incident on his Facebook
account
