A
horrific 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. It was reported that unidentified gunmen attacked this girl who was celebrating her birthday with her fiance.
The
incident reportedly 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. The
gunmen, who reportedly 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-Ano CommunitySecondary School, raped the girl and shot
her fiancé, who survived the attack, but was said to be in critical
condition.
A
source revealed that when the two gunmen were through at 9:30p.m., they
gave the victim N500, having been dropped off at Odolu in Kogi State.
Realising
that the girl could identify them 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
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
Bishop Shanahan Hospital, 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.
