Birthday Girl Raped, Fiance Shot In Nsukka, Enugu

Unidentified gunmen raped a young girl and shot her boyfriend in the head as they were celebrating her birthday in Nsukka, Enugu State.

The incident occurred last week Saturday when the girl's boyfriend, Sunday Oziko took her out in his new Toyota Camry saloon car as part of the birthday celebration.

The gunmen, who rode in a motorcycle, blocked their 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 Community Secondary School, raped the girl and shot her fiance, who survived the attack, but was said to be in critical condition.

when the two gunmen were through at 9:30p.m., they gave the victim N500, having been dropped off at Odolu in Kogi State.

Realizing 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 Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka.

Sunday Ozioko has, however, been transferred to UNTH, Enugu, for a surgical operation on his head.
