A 26 year old National Youth
service corps (NYSC) member serving in
Bayelsa state, Miss Folakemi Akinbode, is now struggling for her life at Niger
Delta University hospital, Okohobiri, following the brutal attack from suspected
cultist.
The wicked act occurred, Monday, at
about 8:30 pm at Onunagha community in Yenogoa local government area of the
state.
Miss Akinbode, an indigene of Ondo
state, a graduate nurse of Madonna University serving at NDU teaching hospital
was returning from work when she was ambushed by two suspected cultists along a
lonely push path leading to her lodge where she resides.
The victim’s right hand has almost
chopped off by her assailants who are now at large.
We learnt that but for the hand she
raised to defend her self, the attackers could have killed her as the machete
was aimed at head.
Miss Akinbode was said to have ran
to her lodge with the injuries shouting “HELP!!! HELP!!! HELP” after which she fainted and
lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding.
A source told our correspondent
that “though she had been given three pints of blood, she is yet to recover consciousness”.
Due to the brutal incident, the
traditional ruler, Chief Apoli Godgive Ibolou XI, was said to have ordered
immediate setting up of vigilante group in the community with a view of fishing
out the perpetrators of the crime.
