A young lady was battered after being attacked by a hoodlum in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital. According to the lady identified as  Inaingo Wealth Livinus-Agala, the hoodlum wanted to steal from her and also rape her on Sunday evening (yesterday).

The lady who was left with a swollen eye after the attack, took to Facebook to condemn the state known for its high crime rate in recent times.

She wrote; “See Bayelsa is a mess am leaving this place.  It’s no longer safe for me to stay… See what a hoodlum who wanted to steal from me and rape me did to me yesterday evening”….

Just few weeks ago, a 100 level student of the state owned Niger Delta University, Miss Seiyefa Fred was killed by suspected robbery gang/cultists.

She was shot dead at close range when the hoodlums robbed her of her new iPhone in Yenagoa, Bayelsa.

Two of the suspected gang members have been apprehended by security operatives who are still on the trail of others.
