An 18 year old girl, Miss Ngozi Eze, has been raped to death by unknown persons in Enugu Ezike, Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State. Her body was found in a bush behind the Community Secondary School in Imufu.
Ngozi’s father, Jonathan Eze-Eze when narrating what happened said that he took his daughter on his motorcycle to the Township School, Ogrute, Enugu Ezike, where she went for JAMB lessons on Tuesday evening and went back later to pick her only to be informed that somebody had given her a lift.
His words: “I left Township School, Ogrute and went home straight, hoping to see her but she wasn’t there. We waited till 8 p.m and started looking for her. “She was not the type that normally socialises. We did not sleep as her telephone number was switched off. It was only this morning (Wednesday) that we got information that her corpse was found here.
“She was to enter the university last year when she completed her secondary education but we prevailed on her to exercise patience for her elder brother to graduate because we cannot afford to train two persons in the university. Since then, she has been working hard to gain admission this year, but this is what has now happened.”
Rev Father Johnson Nwanonenyi, who was at the scene to say a short prayer for the repose of the soul of the deceased, said that human beings would always reap the bad seed they sowed while on earth.
“The perpetrators of this heinous crime will be exposed. God will not allow His creation to be humiliated this way, without punishing them adequately,” Nwanonenenyi said.
