The village of Ziguédia , located in the commune of Gboguhé (Haut-Sassandra), is plunged into mourning and outrage. The lifeless body of Mrs. Yodé Christine was discovered in the bush, revealing a scene of unspeakable cruelty.

The story of a heinous crime

Returning from a fishing trip 72 hours ago, Christine encountered a brutal attack. Initial reports describe a savage assault: the victim was beaten, tied up, raped, and murdered before her body was left to decompose.

Today, his niece and the entire village are breaking their silence to directly appeal to the authorities. Their demand is clear: a thorough investigation to identify and arrest the perpetrators of this chilling act.

Rampant insecurity in the Haut-Sassandra

This tragedy is unfortunately not an isolated case, but seems to be part of a spiral of violence that has been ravaging the sub-prefecture of Gboguhé for two years:

1. Bateguédéa 1 & 2: Serious assaults on women and attempted arson of homes.
2. Gbiéguéhé: Similar scenes of violence repeated.
3. Gokra: Armed attacks perpetrated by individuals on motorcycles, operating in broad daylight in total disregard of the law.

"When insecurity takes hold, it doesn't disappear on its own." – A cry of alarm that resonates throughout the region in the face of the return of fear to the countryside.

The call to action

While the investigation into the Bateguédéa 1 attack led to the arrest of a suspect, many other cases remain unsolved. This latest heinous crime places unprecedented pressure on the defense and security forces . The population is now demanding a concrete increase in surveillance to prevent fields and bush paths from becoming lawless zones.

During this time of profound sorrow, our thoughts are with the family of Mrs. Yodé Christine and all the residents of Ziguédia.
