I saw this story on Vanguard's website and decided to share this with you guys...
A 16 year-old Miss Nwanneka Odah was, yesterday, beheaded by a three
-man gang suspected to be ritual killers at Nawfia in Njikoka Local
Government Area of Anambra State.
This came as the Awka branch manager of a new generation bank, (name
withheld), Mr. Tochukwu Nnadi, was yesterday kidnapped about 7.30am on
his way to the office.
Nwanneka was said to be hawking groundnuts along the Nawfia –Awka
road close to Nawfia Comprehensive Secondary School when the three
young men allegedly pretended as if they wanted to buy groundnuts from
her only for one of them to use a machete to cut off her head when she
bent down to sell the groundnuts to them.
A relation of the deceased, Mr. Friday Ogalagu described the
situation as terrible, lamenting that he had never seen such a thing in
his life.
He said: “I was not there when it happened, but I was told that my
cousin was stopped by three men who said they wanted to buy groundnuts.
While two of them were on the road side, the third, who dressed like a
mad man was standing closely.
When the girl bent down to put the ground nuts for them, the one
close by brought out what somebody said looked like an axe and beheaded
the girl. An Okada rider plying the road who saw what happened stopped
and the three men ran into the bush, leaving their victim whose head was
already severed, struggling for life.”
Ogalagu said that it was when people began to make inquiries about the parents of the girl that he was contacted.
