Residents of Enugu State have risen to condemn the flogging of a nurse going to work on Sunday, 28th April, 2024 into drainage by masquerades at Obeechera, Nsukka Local Government Area.
Journalist101 gathered that the
masquerades known as Oriokpa flogged the lady down from her motorcycle and
followed up the merciless attack on her until she fell into a big drainage by
the roadside.
According to residents of the
area, the masquerades from The n’ Owere Nsukka jave become notorious for
attacking women and girls in the area and a move for their ban has become
imminent.
Reacting to the sad incident,
Heroine Women Foundation said the action of the masqueraded and their handlers
must be probed and proper sanctions meted out on them.
The Executive Director of the
Foundation, Amb. Onyi Mama, said this act against women and nurse shouldn’t be
tolerated by the relevant authorities.
“Watching the video of the
attack on this helpless lady is so painful and I wonder what has happened to
our humanity,” Amb. Mama said.
“What is even more sad is that
this is a nurse in the business ot saving lives and was on her way to work when
these conscienceless individuals descended on her and was having her fun in her
pain.
“How do you even begin to
define this as cultural display? I call on the relevant authorities to round up
anyone involved in this act to serve as a deterrent to others.”
