Ella Williams, a graduate of the Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, was on Sunday, June 13, gunned down by suspected herdsmen along the Benin-Ekpoma expressway.

It was learnt that Miss Williams was reportedly travelling from Benin to Ekpoma to pick up her call-up letter, preparatory to the compulsory one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme when she met her death.

Ella Williams, a graduate of AAU was shot dead on her way to collect her NYSC call-up letter in Benin.

It was gathered that some herdsmen opened fire on the bus Williams was travelling in, killing her on the spot while other passengers were abducted.

A Facebook user, Andrew Egbuonu, who announced Williams’ death on his wall on Sunday, June 13, said she just graduated with a Masters in Architecture from AAU.

Part of Egbuonu’s post read: “I received the devastating news of the demise of a young lady and a promising future of the Nigerian nation, Miss Ella Williams, in the hands of bloodthirsty and heartless herdsmen on the Benin-Ekpoma Road in Edo state. “Miss Williams who has just graduated with a Masters in Architecture from Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma, was said to have traveled from her Benin base to pick up her call-up letter.

She never made it back as her vehicle was attacked by murderous marauders who ambushed vehicles by opening fire on them with their small arms (aka AK-47 assault guns) killing her on the spot. What a country where human lives have no value, especially to these emotion-less invaders.”

The Benin-Ekpoma-Auchi-Okene road has become a haven for suspected herdsmen and kidnappers, who daily operate by firing shots at vehicles to stop the drivers and the passengers kidnapped for ransom.
