But for providence,23-year-old Ogbonna Eze , a  commercial motorcyclist from Opi Community in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu state, would have been lying six feet below the earth.  Eze, who is currently undergoing treatment in an undisclosed private hospital around Bishop Shanahan area of Nsukka, over an attack from some Fulani herdsmen, fled Kano State following the bomb attacks by the dreaded Boko Haram sect.

On that fateful day, October 1, 2012, he had conveyed two Fulani herdsmen from Opi Junction along Enugu -Makurdi Expressway , heading for their camp at Idodo Agu Ekwegbe, Igbo Etiti local government  area on a special drop.

But midway into the journey, he got the shock of his life following an order from the men for him  to stop, on reaching a market close to the camp. But before he could fathom the reason for the order, Eze who spoke to Crime Alert from his hospital bed, said they landed a machete on his head, which made him fall off from his motor bike.

As if that was not enough, his assailants brought out daggers with which they attacked him,  chopping off his left ear in the process. At the end, he was abandoned in the pool of his  own blood, while they absconded  with his motor bike.

Recounting what he described as an unforgettable incident,  Eze stated, “I did not know  they had a sinister motive up their sleeves when they flagged  me. It was when they asked me to stop that I knew something could be wrong. They  forced  me to  a path from  where they attacked me and  made away with all the cash I had made for the day including my  motorcycle.

“After I was sure they were gone, I managed to roll from the path to the expressway so as to get help, a task I did with the whole of my strength. By then, I was bleeding  profusely. I cannot tell how I got to the expressway. But it was dark then. I tried to call for help but could not. I raised my hand to signify that  there  was somebody on the road but yet, help was far from me.  At that point, I thought I was going to die. You can imagine, I fled Kano State because of Boko Haram people, only to meet their type here.  That was the only thing I remember”
