As family, friends and community members gathered to lay Evelyn Osakonor to rest in Ehiamenkyene, their grief was palpable — but so too was their call for justice.
Evelyn, described by loved ones as a vibrant young woman with a bright future, tragically lost her life in a suspected murder, an event that has left the community reeling. At her funeral, the victim’s relatives made a solemn appeal to law enforcement, urging the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to ensure that those responsible are found and held accountable.
In a petition presented amid the mourning, family members called on the police to intensify investigations and bring closure to their painful ordeal. They stressed that there can be no peace for them until justice is delivered.
The emotional service blended traditional rites with heartfelt tributes, as speakers highlighted Evelyn’s positive impact on those around her and the deep void her absence has created. While the community mourns, there is a shared hope that the authorities will act swiftly and transparently — not just to solve this case, but to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
