Naturally, military establishments and their precincts are assumed to be one of the safest places on earth. Not any more.
This is because a 25-year-old lady was raped, butchered to death and her mutilated body dumped in the Nkwoagu area of Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, where a military cantonment is situated.
A lady of about 25 years old has been raped to death and her body dumped at a location in Nkwoagu area of Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The Public Relations Officer for the Ebonyi State Police Command, DSP Loveth Odah, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, who confirmed the gory incident, also revealed that the victim’s identity was yet to be unravelled but that the police had spread its dragnet to get the criminals that committed the atrocious act.
The Sun newspaper which broke the story quoted Odah as saying: “An unidentified body of a lady was found at Nkwoagu area in Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. The body of the lady was found stark naked although her clothes and slippers were found near her.
“She was not just raped, she was also butchered with a knife. There were knife cuts all over her body especially the neck part of and left stark naked.
“With that kind of machete cut, she was supposed to be in the pool of her blood but there was no blood seen around there which may be that the act might have been committed somewhere else and they now carried her from there and dumped her body at the location where the police found her.
“Nobody has come to identify her body. She was evacuated and deposited at the mortuary at FETHA II. Nobody has come to identify her as their own.”
