A tragic incident took place at the University town of Nsukka,Enugu
State left a young girl devastated after she was raped and her fiance
shot in the head.
The incident occurred last Saturday, when the girl’s
boyfriend, identified as Sunday Ozioko, 30, took out his lover in his
new Toyota Camry saloon car as part of the birthday celebration.
It
was learned that the gunmen, who rode in a motorcycle, blocked the
vehicle along Orba Road at 6.30p.m., took over the car and sped off
through Orba Market to Obollo-Afor.
They stopped at
Alor-AnoCommunitySecondary School, raped the girl and shot her fiancé,
who survived the attack, but was said to be in critical condition.
A source said that when the two gunmen were through at 9:30p.m., they gave the victim N500, having been dropped off at Odolu in KogiState.
Realising
that the girl could identify then later, the bandits allegedly made for
the girl again, who was able to escape through a path that led her to a
crusade ground, where Adonai Faith Assembly was having a vigil.
The
obviously horrified girl was said to have narrated her ordeal to the
congregation, who she told her fiancee was still lying in his pool of
blood.
According to a source, the pastor of the church immediately
swung into action, reached out to the police at Nsukka Urban, who
quickly rushed him to BishopShanahanHospital, Nsukka.
Efforts made
to speak with the victim at his hospital private ward proved abortive
as his relations barred press men from seeing him.
Sunday Ozioko has, however, been transferred to UNTH, Enugu, for a surgical operation on his head.
Enugu
State Police spokesman, Ebere Amarizu, said police were on top of the
situation and vowed that everything would be done to track down the
bandits.
