“I warned her not to trust men”— Grieving mother of student k#lled for r!tual speaks

The grieving mother of Plangnan Solomon, who was allegedly k!lled by suspected ritualists, has recalled warning her daughter not trust men.

It was reported that the mutilated body of the young lady was found dumped near Plateau Radio Television Corporation (PRTV) in Rayfield area of Jos with vital parts missing. Speaking to Daily Trust, Mrs Solomon said that her daughter left home on Christmas Eve, with the hope to return the next day to celebrate with the family but never returned.

“It is not in her character to leave home and stay longer than time. Anytime she left home, at most, she stayed away for one day and returned but the last time she left, it was unusual. Three days after she went out, we didn’t hear from her. I then asked her sisters to call her phone number. We dialled the number severally but there was no response.

We later heard that a picture of the corpse of a young woman was posted on Facebook but it didn’t occur to us that it was her.” She further revealed she had warned her daughter to be wary of men because some use the opportunity of their relationship with women to achieve their hidden objectives.

“The de#th of Plangnan is painful but there is nothing I can do. As a believer, we just have to be patient but it is painful. We have accepted it in good faith. Children of today don’t listen to their parents any more. They prefer to do whatever they like. I remember, always warn her to be careful with men.

This will serve as a lesson to everyone especially women. Never trust men all the time. There are good ones among them but many are bad. Whoever seeks relationship with you, investigate to know if the person is of good character before accepting him. If not, leave him and forge ahead with your life. These are my words to all women,” she said.
