While Peace had his forehead and nose sliced, Ndudim sustained a swollen hand
and had internal bleeding. Witnesses are, however, insisting that it was
Ndudim’s brother, who attacked Peace with a machete.
He was said to have attacked, after witnessing how Peace used a stick to attack
Ndudim because of Ogechi. The incident has plunged the community into shock,
with some of the elders saying it is a taboo for two persons from the same village
to fight and shed blood. .
The taboo is called ‘Erim.’ The consequence of that spilling blood is death; if
a spiritual cleansing is not quickly carried out.
Peace was Ogechi’s
former lover until he turned her to a punching bag. Ogechi borne the beatings
until Peace called it quits between them. It was gathered that several attempts
made by Ogechi to start a new relationship always failed because Peace would
threaten and sometimes attack every prospective lover.
Ndudim, who just came from Lagos State to the village, saw Ogechi and fell in
love with her. Their relationship was already beginning to take root, when
Peace heard about it and went after Ndudim, attacking and beating him. He bore
the beating and humiliation.
On that fateful day of the incident, April 22, Peace went to
attack Ndudim again, but got more than he bargained for. An eyewitness said:
“On the eve of April 22, Ndudim was seeing Ogechi off, when Peace suddenly jumped out from the bush and, as usual, pounced on Ndudim. He beat him up. The following morning, Peace saw Ndudim and this time, attacked him with a stick. .
Unfortunately, Peace attacked Ndudim in the presence of his brother. The brother ran and returned with a machete and attacked Peace.”
Doctors later
revealed that Ndudim has internal bleeding and that the blood would have to be
sucked out to save his life.
