Chaos in Enugu Community as Woman Allegedly Kills Sister, Attacks Family

A horrifying tragedy has unfolded in Aji community, Enugu-Ezike, Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, where a woman, yet to be identified, allegedly killed her younger sister with a cutlass. The shocking incident, which has sent shockwaves through the community, also saw the suspect attacking her mother and her late sister’s child in a violent outburst.

The disturbing episode was captured in a video that surfaced online, shared by a Facebook user known as Anyika TV. In the footage, the suspect appeared dazed and claimed that she was possessed by an unknown force, which drove her to commit the heinous act.

Eyewitnesses from the Aji community recount that the suspect’s actions were sudden and unexpected. According to an anonymous resident, “She had always been quiet. Nobody ever thought she could do something like this. But today, everything changed. She picked up a cutlass and turned on her family.”

The gruesome attack left the suspect’s mother and niece critically injured. Both victims were immediately rushed to Bishop Shanahan Hospital in Nsukka, where they are currently fighting for their lives. Medical personnel at the hospital have not yet disclosed the full extent of their injuries, but sources indicate that they suffered deep cuts and severe trauma from the attack.

Meanwhile, the local authorities have yet to make an official statement regarding the incident. The police in Enugu State have not confirmed the attack at the time of this report, but community members are urging law enforcement to step in and investigate the matter thoroughly.

While some residents believe the suspect might be suffering from an undiagnosed mental illness, others speculate that spiritual forces may have been involved. “She kept saying she was possessed. We don’t know if this is madness or if something really took over her,” another witness shared.

The incident has sparked widespread concern in the community, with many fearing for their safety. Family members and neighbors have been left in shock, struggling to understand how a domestic setting turned into a scene of horror within minutes.

As authorities work to piece together the circumstances leading to the attack, questions linger—was this an episode of mental instability, a spiritual attack, or something else entirely? For now, the Aji community remains in mourning, hoping for justice and the recovery of the surviving victims.

More details are expected to emerge as police investigate this unsettling event.
