A 26-year-old lady, identified as Blessing Ashibuogwu, is currently fighting for her life after a bike rider beat her unconscious and raped her inside a bush in Idumuine quarters, lssele-Uku, Delta State.

According to a source, Blessing had boarded the bike on her way to church yesterday, August 9, 2020, but instead of taking her to her destination, the rider, one Dodo Ndidi Nwaola, took her to a bush, where he allegedly brutalized and raped her.

“He tore her clothes with a jackknife, used plank and cutlass to beat her to the point of death, raped and left her for dead.

She was rescued by Issele-Uku vigilante and rushed to St Threasa hospital, Issele-uku, where she was later referred to FMC emergency ward Asaba. She is in a critical state as we speak,” the source said.

The culprit has been arrested by the police in Issele-uku.
