Tragedy struck at Afaha Market in
Ibesikpo/Asuntan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday
when a trader was strangled after being raped by
suspected hoodlums.
It was learnt that the woman from Ogoja,
Cross River State, had gone to the weekly Afaha market when the
incident occurred at night.
The woman, popularly called ‘Mama
Oliver’, was said to have gone outside the house to urinate when
four-man hoodlums swooped on her and took turns to rape her.
The hoodlums thereafter strangled her for fear that she might recognise one or two them.
An eyewitness, said, “Mama Oliver said
she was going to urinate. It was in the process that the hoodlums
seized her. They had bouts of sex with her.
“It was believed that they strangled her
because she could identify some of the criminals. They feared that she
might expose them if they let her go.”
