There is palpable tension in Benin City, Edo State over the rape, murder of Mrs Queen Igbinevbo, pregnant wife of a prominent Edo politician, Promise Igbinevbo.
Igbere TV gathered that the deceased was allegedly raped in her home, as she was alone when her attackers gained entrance into it through the ceiling.
According to reports, the intruders had come in search of her husband, Comrade Promise Igbinevbo, who is a Governorship Campaign Coordinator in the state.
However, when they could not find him at home on May 20, 2020, they raped and murdered his wife.
Mrs Queen, who is known as a very religious woman in her neighbourhood, was discovered by neighbours who were worried that they have not seen her in a while.
“When we could not see Queen, I came to check if she was fine because she lives alone, we met her naked, blood and foam was coming out of her mouth. There was semen all over her body.
“We had to call her husband who is staying in another place,” a source told reporters.
The source said neighbours reported seeing strange men walking up and down the street just days before the tragic incident.
The murder of Queen Igbinevbo sparked a demonstration in Benin.
On Friday, June 5, protesters took to Edo State Police Command to demand justice for the deceased.
Igbere TV gathered that three people have been arrested in relation to Mrs Queen Igbinevbo’s brutal murder.
