A graduate of 24-year-old Mass Communication from the Benue State University (BSU), Joy Onoh, has been murdered by unknown assailants.
Joy, 24, was killed in North Bank suburb of Makurdi, the state capital.
She was said to have been taken hostage on Tuesday evening by unknown persons who had requested her retail products to be delivered to them.
She did not return to her widowed mother after the trip which she made in a hurry.
The deceased was believed to have also been raped before her eventual murder.
According to the mother, an unknown customer called her on Tuesday to deliver some items at North Bank area of the town and every effort thereafter to reach her since then has proved abortive.
