The police in Bayelsa state have arrested the alleged attackers of Miss Folakemi Akinbode, a national youth service corps (NYSC) member serving in the state whose right hand was almost chopped off, Monday night at Obunagha in Yenogoa local government.
Good news is that an Italian firm has agreed to sponsor the victim’s treatment overseas for proper medical treatment and rehabilitation.
The two suspects, identified as Ebi Jalto and Weriye Aluwa, who are currently in police custody were nabbed 72 hours after the attack, through the support of the Obunagha community youths.
According to a source in the village, the suspects were arrested at Karoama community about two kilometers from the scene of the crime while attempting to sell the phones of the victim.
They have also confessed to the crime and claimed that the lady struggled with them in their attempt to snatch her bag.
Meanwhile, an unnamed Italian firm is making frantic effort to fly the victim overseas for treatment.
Sources, however told us that the move was stalled, yesterday, due to the Sallah holidays and other logistics.
“We are optimistic that the problem would be sorted out on Monday after the Sallah holidays to enable her travel overseas for proper medical attention and rehabilitation”, a source.
