The Police in Delta
State on Saturday confirmed the killing by armed robbers of Frances, the
daughter a former Military Administrator of Kano State, Brig General Dominic
Oneya (retd.) in Warri on Friday.
The Delta State
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Celestina Kalu, told newsmen that Frances
was attacked and shot as she left a bank at JW Junction along Ovie Palace Rd,
where she had gone to withdraw some money for her father.
The PPRO said
though the robbers escaped with a box of cloths in the booth of the car of the
deceased, they left the money she had gone to withdraw intact in the middle box
of her car.
Kalu said, “One
Mrs. Sovex Oneya had come to the station and reported that at 11:30hrs, her
sister in-law, Frances Oneya, daughter of retired Brig. Gen. Dominic Oneya,
informed her that her father sent her to Zenith Bank to withdraw the sum of
N200,000.
“Thirty minutes
later she received a call that Frances had been shot by armed robbers operating
in Toyota Picnic car with unknown registration number at Ovie Palace Road,
Effurun.
“The corpse has
been deposited at Venee Mortuary Warri. At the scene, N200,000 was recovered in
the middle box of the victim’s vehicle and the vehicle towed to the police
station.
“At the scene,
information gathered revealed that the hoodlums went away with the victim’s bag
in the booth of the vehicle containing some pieces of cloths, which the
hoodlums thought was the money she withdrew.”

The deceased was a
mother of four.
On her Facebook
page on Saturday, Frances’ friends paid tribute to her, describing her as a
trusted and principled woman
