She was reported to have gone to gather vegetables when she was accosted, assaulted and killed.
The command said a good Samaritan discovered the woman’s body in the bush path within the community and reported the incident to the police.
Speaking on the incident, the command said: “We immediately deployed our personnel to the scene, where the body of the woman was found with a deep cut on her neck.
“Findings by our detectives revealed that the corpse had been at the location for at least seven days prior to its discovery.
“Investigations conducted by the police led to the arrest of the two suspects.”
However, following the discovery of the body, residents of the community held a protest, denouncing the killing and insisting that others involved in the gruesome act should be fished out.
The situation was, however, brought under control through the intervention of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Ido Police Station in collaboration with the authorities of the local government.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Femi Haruna, has ordered the deployment of police personnel to maintain public order, strengthen visibility policing, and reassure residents of their safety.
