Just days after achieving one of the greatest milestones of her life, 39-year-old Dr Fortune Gomo's promising journey was cut short in a brutal and senseless act of violence.

Dr Gomo had recently graduated with a PhD in Geography and Environmental Science — a moment that filled her and her family with immense pride. But what followed was a devastating tragedy.

While walking with her 10-year-old daughter in broad daylight, Dr Gomo was suddenly attacked and stabbed to death.

The shocking incident happened in full view of the public and left her young daughter traumatized and the community in mourning.

Paramedics arrived at the scene quickly and did everything they could to save her, but sadly, the injuries were too severe. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Friends and colleagues have described Dr Gomo as a brilliant academic, a loving mother, and a passionate environmentalist who had so much more to give to the world.

Her death has not only robbed her family of a caring parent but also the academic world of a rising scholar dedicated to solving environmental challenges.

The motive for the attack is still under investigation, and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward.

Meanwhile, the community continues to grapple with the loss and demands justice.

Dr Gomo’s death has sparked outrage on social media and calls for stronger measures to protect women and children in public spaces.
