The news of the dastardly act has elicited considerable disquiet and condemnation in Adamawa State as citizens tasks the government to stem the tide of killings in hotels.
The killing and beheading of the lady came few months after the reported death of a man at a hotel in the state capital.
Expressing her disgust, the chairperson of FIDA in a strong worded statement tasks the police to get to the root of the crime and bring the culprit to justice.
“FIDA hereby expresses outrage and denounce in strongest terms the killing of a woman name withheld in Happy day Hotel situate along target Junction, Jimeta of Yola-North.
“The ruthless killing of the woman through beheading is a clear violation of her fundamental right to life and human dignity as contained in chapter 4 of the Nigerian Constitution and therefore unacceptable.
“It does not matter where the woman was killed but what matters is that a soul is killed,” the statement said.
FIDA noted that some months ago it was a man who was found death in a hotel room and now a beheaded woman which calls for investigation into the pattern of the crime, the negligence and or duty of care on the part of the hotels to keep vigilance for the safety of their customers.
“We are therefore concerned about this grave violation of the constitution and we call on the government, to ensure prompt and effective investigation into this heinous act with a view to bringing the perpetrator to face the wrath of the law while ensuring the protection of other vulnerable persons in the society.
“FIDA while assuring the public of promoting the rights of women and children, calls on the public to put all hands-on deck in fighting crimes and criminality against the vulnerable groups.
“FIDA offers sincere condolences to the family and relatives as we keep them in our thoughts and prayers,” the statement added.
