A 29-year-old lawyer, Naomi Stanley Mshiela, who was killed by her abductors was on Thursday, 27 April, 2023, buried at Gudu Cemetery in Abuja amidst tears.
A service of song was held on Wednesday at Family Worship Centre, Wuye, Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in honour of the deceased, who was the only child of her parents.
Though information about her death is still sketchy at the time of filing this report, one Pastor Yakubu Musa said the deceased, who is the only child of her parents was killed by kidnappers.
Reacting after her burial ceremony, the President/Founder of Initiative for Women’s Accelerate Development in Africa, Evelyn H. Onyilo, who also mourned her on Facebook, posted, “My dear Baby girl. You were committed to mother earth today amidst tears from all of us. Those that cut short your life will never go scot-free.

Meanwhile, goods worth millions of Naira were gutted by fire in 100 shops at the popular Yan-Katato Market, Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Wednesday.
The Chairman, Yan-Katato Market, Alhaji Mohammed Ashiru, told newsmen in Zaria that the fire occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.
Ashiru said that the market security guards informed them that the fire was ignited by a spark from electric power cables that crossed over the market.
“The sparks generated fire particles which dropped on ceiling stalls in the market and subsequently led to the inferno,’’ he said.
The chairman noted that the security guards could not prevent the spread of the fire, stressing that it took the intervention of the Federal Fire Service to contain it after several hours.
He sympathised with the affected shop owners and enjoined them to take the incident in good fate.
Fire Station Officer, Federal Fire Service Sabon Gari, DSF Abubakar Ibrahim, said lack of adequate water reservoirs delayed the fight to halt the raging fire.
He, therefore, appealed to government and philanthropists to support the service with more reservoirs for better service delivery.
