Promise Dikko, the winner of Miss UNIJOS 2024, is grieving the loss of her fiancé who she said was killed by bandits just months before their planned wedding.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, the student of the
Jos-based varsity disclosed that her betrothed was fatally attacked by bandits.
She shared a photo of the couple together, in which her late
fiancé is dressed in ceremonial military attire.
Describing him as “my hero,” Promise disclosed that she has
now become yet another victim of Nigeria’s deepening insecurity crisis.
Though she did not specify when the incident occurred, she
added that they were supposed to wed in December.
“Rip my hero. I kept this photo to post it when it close to
wedding date,” she wrote.
“27th December was supposed to be the date. We have made
prep and bookings. But you left me?
“Bandit killed you for me. Nigeria happened to me. Rest easy
my hero.”
Her loss comes amid a surge in banditry and kidnappings
across several Nigerian states.
Last month, suspected bandits attacked schools in
Orire LGA, abducting about 39 students and seven teachers, an incident that
sparked nationwide protests by the Nigerian Union of Teachers.
In response to growing public outrage, security operatives
have intensified efforts to curb the violence.
On Wednesday, police rescued five kidnapped
residents from the Paze community in the Federal Capital Territory after a gun
battle with bandits, killing two suspected gang members and arresting two
others.
