A 26-year-old National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member serving in Bayelsa State, Miss Folakemi Akinbode, is now struggling for her life at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri, following a brutal attack from suspected cultists.
The incident occurred, Monday, at about 8.30pm at Obunagha community in the Yenagoa Local Government Area of the state.
Miss Akinbode, an indigene of Ondo State, a graduate Nurse of the Madonna University serving at NDU Teaching Hospital was returning from work when she was ambushed by two suspected cultists along a lonely bush path leading to the corpers’ lodge where she resides.
Her right hand was almost chopped off by her assailants who are now at large.
It was learnt that but for the hand she raised to defend herself the attackers could have killed her as the machete was aimed at her head.
The victim was said to have ran to the lodge with her injuries shouting “help, help, help…” after which she collapsed and lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding from the almost severed hand.
A source told our correspondent that “though she had been given three pints of blood, she is yet to regain consciousness.”
Troubled by the development, the traditional ruler of the community, Chief Apoh Godgive, the Ibolou XI, was said to have ordered the immediate setting up of vigilante group in the community with a view to fishing out the perpetrators of the crime.

The lust for the good life makes people go mad with a passion. Some one beheads a child to buy a cow, a young iady goes out for the evening and her body is discovered the next day. Students are raped in their dormitories, a woman throws hot water over a child because they were hungry and took a piece of meat from the pot. A friend kills another friend because he was having an affair with his mother. Dog meat is sold as beef to unsuspecting customers. And the atrocities goes on.
And we wonder why our tourism industry is non existent!
Even I would not visit Nigeria - and I live in Nigeria!!!!!!
