This
video clip was recorded live by yours sincerely, a passer-by-turned eye
witness to something that is fast becoming a
regular occurrence nowadays-rape.
It all started this
afternoon, beside the Customs Quarters at the Federal Housing Estate
Kubwa, Abuja, where a lady was almost raped by a purported mad man who
stormed into her apartment unannounced and pounced on the hapless
lady with a knife while trying to force her into having sex with him.
For
sometime now, the purported mad man had been seen lurking around the
neighbourhood and deceptively portraying himself as a harmless madman
thus diverting attention from the danger he portends. So it was really a
great shock to residents of the area when it dawned on them this
afternoon that the supposed harmless man actually poses a grave danger
to them.

The Victim of the Attack |
Luck ran out on the man when people in the
neighbourhood heard the lady screaming for help and rushed into her
apartment where they met the duo in a tug of war. They joined hands
and over powered the man whom they had been mistaken for a mad man. By
then the lady had suffered knife cuts on her fingers while dragging with
her attacker.
The purported mad man incurred further
wrath of the crowd when he resisted attempts to hand him of to the
police, an action the crowd interpreted as a sign that contrary
to their thinking the man was actually sane as he knew quite well the
consequences of his action.

The Purported Man |
Delivering a sermon on why he must not be taken into
police custody, the purported mad men even quoted the bible. Hear
him"...anything wey we wan do, we go do am in the spiritual before we do
am in the physical...anything wey we no do in the spiritual make we no
do am physical because it is not agreed and it is written in the bible
that whatsoever we agreed..." Unfortunately, a slap from one his
listeners cut his sermon short.
|
Finally Booted To The Police Station |
After over an hour of
trying to get him into the car en route the police station, he was
finally subdued when a resident provided a metal handcuff with which he
was handcuffed and bungled into the boot of a waiting Honda Baby Boy and
driven to the Phase IV Police Station Kubwa.

When next you see someone lurking around your neighbourhood, don't just overlook because he/she may have greater plans.
