Widow recounts ordeals in hands of abductors

A widow, who was kidnapped Saturday evening at Ekpan community, Uvwie council area of Delta State, has accused her kidnappers of raping her.

The widow, while tearfully recounting her ordeal after escaping from the hands of the suspects, said she was also stripped of all her belongings.

One of the suspects, who was directed to watch over her, had fallen asleep, enabling her to escape the following morning.

In a video seen by The Nation, the victim with cuts on her lip, a black eye and torn blouse, stated that she was about to get into her vehicle, which was parked around Ekpan Junction, when the hoodlums accosted her, shooting sporadically.

She said: “Yesterday evening around seven, I went to Ekpan Junction to buy something. As I returned, I noticed one boy at a corner, two other boys were close to a lorry in front. I was about to open the door to my car, my daughter was inside.
