I waited for sometime, I did not see her. I discovered it has past the time she is supposed to come back. I became worried, I called her phone she was not picking.
“While we were on her search, I called again she pick with a low voice that she was on her way home. When she came, her clothe was soaked with water and blood, there were bruises on her face, neck and leg. Her left jaw got swollen and her left eye too. She was so weak”.
“First of all we went to Police station in Amadi and made an official report,we took her to the hospital for treatment.when she became a bit strong, we asked her what happened.
“She explained that when she was withdrawing money at a bank in ordinance, TransAmadi, a man was standing behind her. So she felt the man also came to withdraw money. After withdrawing money, she discovered that the man did not proceed to the bank ATM to withdraw money.
“She now entered another Keke and went back to another bank at mothercat.When she came down infront of the bank at mothercat,she saw the man who was standing behind her at the bank in ordinance, the man starting dragging her at the front of the bank at mothercat,she was shouting no person came to her rescue.
