The victim, Okoma Eucharia

Victim Says Her Critics Are Been Instigated By A Federal Lawmaker

One woman in the Amuda community, in Umunneochi Local Council of Abia State has been accused of killing another native of the community after her face was said to have been revealed by an herbalist mirror to be the killer.

The victim, Okoma Eucharia, a political woman leader, in Amuda, said that a federal lawmaker who is going for a fourth term in the National Assembly, is the one instigating the women.

Eyewitnesses said she was stripped naked by some women, who dragged her around in the community and were about to burn her alive when community leaders intervened.

Narrating how she narrowly escaped death, Eucharia said: “Trouble started after the governor visited Amuda community on April 3, 2018, and gave women a token in appreciation of the warm welcome we gave him.

“As I was sharing the token (bags of rice) among the women, a female federal lawmaker (name withheld) came and demanded to know where the largesse came from and why I must be the one sharing it.”

“She threatened to deal with me and also use a member of the Amuda Women Town Development Union against me, to ensure I either die or leave Umunneochi.

“Before I knew what was happening, they said I was responsible for the death of Esther Onyeagba, who died on Good Friday in Calabar, Cross River State. They said my face appeared in a herbalist’s mirror as the killer.

“The women came to my shop at Ejifeji, where I am popularly known as NICON nuku, damaged things there, went to my house, destroyed my property and took some of my money away. They demanded that I must come out and dance around the village as custom demands.

“When I showed up, they started beating me, stripped me and took me round different communities.”

They put a tyre on my neck, poured kerosene on me. But for one Chinedu, who rescued me from them, I would have been set ablaze for an offence I knew nothing about. As I speak, I have gone into hiding.

“My crime was that I am supporting the state governor, while they and the lawmaker are in support of another governorship aspirant. I am crying out to law-abiding Nigerians and the law enforcement agency to come to my aid.”
