A Pregnant Florence Onu, 28, was shot dead, Sunday night, in Port Harcourt by armed men who attacked her along Ada George Road, Rumueme.
Younger sister to the victim, Ebere Amadi, who witnessed the incident
said her sister had a scuffle with the robbers over her handbag
containing N50,000 offerings collected during her church’s evening
service that day.
She said: “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.”
Alex Chidah, a youth leader in the area while reacting to the
incident 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.”
