Some hoodlums have raped a salesgirl (name withheld)
to a coma after beating her at the Ekuigbo community of Ughelli-North Local
Government Area of Delta State. The incident occurred on Monday at a store
where the victim sold fish feed. The girl was said to be in her 20s.
It was gathered that the incident was one of several
rape cases in the community as the wife of a popular hotelier had also been
reportedly attacked and raped last Friday.
A source told Punch that the girl was found naked in
a pool of blood by a trader in the area.
“The victim
was left at the point of death after she was raped by some boys. She was
discovered naked by the owner of an adjoining shop in the same building. The
woman then raised the alarm.
“Sympathisers
helped to rush her to a hospital,” a witness told our correspondent.
The witness
described the incident as shocking, calling on security agencies to act quickly
to forestall rape incidents in the area.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta
State Police Command, SP Celestina Kalu, confirmed the incident, adding that
investigations were ongoing.
