Read the heart breaking story and the aftermath of the early morning bank robbery that took place in Festac yesterday. Innocent victims killed right in their bedroom by straybullets...Punch.
Fresh bloodstains were still on the wall, just as our correspondent was told that the dead baby was still in the room around 3pm.
A friend of the victim, who was with her at the time of the incident, Uju, said the death was a mystery.
She said, “We were together in the room when she said she wanted to go and sleep.
“Soon, the robbers started shooting outside, and I quickly went to shut the doors. I thought it was a child’s play, until the shootings increased.
“Her baby woke up and started crying. My baby was also crying and she came out from the room to carry her baby.
“As she was about to move back into her room, the bullet hit her and the baby, and she started bleeding.”
She said she called for help, but nobody could come out because of the sporadic shootings from the robbers....(see photos of the dead baby below.)
A next-door neighbour, John Irabor, said everybody was afraid because the robbers stayed for a long time, lamenting that the victim could have been saved if she got immediate medical attention.
He said, “We first took her to the general hospital, where she was rejected. Then, we took her to First Gate Hospital and we were told that she was dead.
“Her husband is a pastor in the Lord’s Chosen Ministries headquarters, and he insisted we take her to the church for prayers.
“But when we also got to the Lord’s Chosen, everybody knew it was a hopeless case. She was dead.”
