Tragedy struck at the university town of
Nsukka, Enugu State, weekend, as
unidentified gunmen raped a young girl,
who was celebrating her birthday with her
lover boy, who was also shot in the head.
Vanguard gathered that 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 told Vanguard 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.
Rescue
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.
