There is a growing tension at a popular International Market located in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State Capital as a very energetic mad man is said to roaming the market, molesting both old and young women.
9News Nigeria correspondent gathered that the madman has been at the market sexually harrasing and molesting any woman he can grab at any given moment.
An eyewitness, Onyinyechi Ogah who witnessed the ugly incident and shared it on her Social Media said she was shocked after seeing the dastardly act by the mad man.
According to her, “today I witnessed one of the most heart wrenching scenarios at the Ebonyi State International market (Blue house), where foodstuffs are sold to be precise.”
“A very energetic young mad man attacked an older woman, from my observation, this woman should be in her fifties. He held her by the arm, shook her violently, and would not loose his grip despite the woman’s struggles and shouts from women around. He only let her go when a young man made to attack him with a wooden stool. He stepped back and seemed to derive pleasure from the woman’s fearful experience.”
“The women there then began to narrate to me how mad men roam around freely in the market molesting women whenever they found a victim. One narrated how, about two weeks ago, a mad man held and raped a girl who was about seven years old; she said that while he was at it, people attacked him, hitting him with anything they could find, but he still didn’t let go until he had his fill…guess what, he is still roaming around unchecked, waiting for his next victim.”
” No one knows the kind of emotional and psychological trauma the little girl would be facing now, not to talk of her physiological health. The same mad man was also reported to have also raped a young unsuspecting girl around St. Theresa’s Catholic church Ogoja Road.”
