She was also said to have provided him with accommodation in her house.

However, around 1 a.m on Wednesday neighbours said they heard screams from her house, but were too scared to check what was happening.

However, when they checked on the deceased at daylight they discovered she had been attacked with an axe. Her head was split open, there were axe cuts all over her body.

WuzupNaija gathered that her eyes were also plucked and stolen.

The whereabouts of Collins, a Tiv man from Benue State, however, remain unknown.

The body of the deceased has since been taken to the morgue.
