Sunday killed a 28-year-old pregnant woman
Florence Onu,in Port Harcourt, along Ada George
Road, Rumueme.
An eyewitness, younger sister to the victim,
Ebere Amadi, said her sister was attacked by
armed men who wanted to disposses her of her
handbag containing N50,000 offerings collected
during her church's evening service that day.
"We were returning from church service around
8 p.m when we saw a red Audi coming close to
us. Next thing, one of them grabbed my sister's
bag. There was dragging as my sister held to
the bag. One of them at the back of the vehicle
shot my sister as they made away with the bag.
She was already dead before we got to a nearby
hospital.
"The N50,000 in her bag was the offering from
the evening service. The pastor asked her to
take it home because her husband who is
responsible for keeping the church's money was
not in the service that day."
In his reaction, Alex Chidah, a youth leader in
the area said: "Ada-George Road has become
volatile lately. The police need to take note.
There is a particular gang parading the area only
at night and they have been molesting and
killing innocent residents."
