WEIRD: FURIOUS COW KILLS OWNER IN DELTA ABATTOIR
A furious Cow in Ughelli North community in Delta State apparently killed its owner at the abattoir located at Oghenevweta street in Ughelli town after it suddenly went wild on Sunday.
The victim, Mohammed Jubrin, was killed by his cow, after the Cow cut the rope that was used to tie and went straight to the abattoir where the victim was busy with other cattle and hit him hard, leaving him in a pool of blood which eventually led to his death before he was taken to the hospital.
An eyewitness, Muhammad Abdul, who confirmed the incident, said that the herder was spiked to death while in a trailer used to convey cows with some other persons from the northern part of the country to Ughelli town, adding that the victim had gone on board the trailer in an attempt to force the enraged cow to come down from the truck.
He said, “The cow immediately rammed into him with its horn stuck in the victim’s throat, flipped him up and went after him again in the same manner multiple times until he was rescued from the attacks. Unfortunately, he died in the hospital where he was rushed to for treatment but could not make it”, disclosing that the victim had since been buried in line with Islamic belief.
It was gathered that since the incident happened on Sunday, there has been intense tension and fear of the unknown within Ughelli town, especially among cattle rearers in the area.
However, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, who spoke to newsmen about the incident, said, “It’s unfortunate that the cattle killed the owner. The cattle has however been killed”.
