When Christiana Enechejo Paul arrived Cross River State last year for the mandatory national youth service, little did she know what fate had in store for her. Despite some parents’ panic and fear over their wards participation as ad-hoc staff for the voter registration exercise for the April general elections, Ms. Enechejo was among the youth corpers who was trained to register voters. She was posted to Bepeh village in Mbube community of Ogoja to carry out the exercise. Her sojourn in the village turned sour as she is now writhing in pains after she was shot by a local hunter. Ms. Enechejo reportedly woke up one morning to ease herself in the nearby bush, but midway into it, a hunter mistook her for an antelope and sprayed her with bullets. Her screams and wailings took the hunter aback. In a jiffy, her colleagues and other people rushed to the scene to behold her in a pool of her blood with the hunter restless and crying for help, saying he shot an antelope only to see a human being afterward. Incidentally, the well known hunter is her landlord and headmaster of the village primary school. A graduate of Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, Ms. Enechejo was serving in Comprehensive College, Mbube, before being posted to Bepeh, a nearby community for the just concluded national voter registration exercise. She and other female colleagues got a one-room apartment provided incidentally by the village primary school headmaster to live in for the duration of the exercise, since they came from different places of primary assignment. “We were given one room with my colleagues from where we reported to the registration point each morning. The compound has no toilet and we had to resort to the nearby bush to defecate,” Miss Enechejo revealed. According to her, on February 1, at about 5:45am, she went to the nearby bush at the back of the house, which shares a common boundary with a cassava farm owned by the headmaster, to defecate when suddenly his son joined her in the bush but left quickly only for the father to come out with a gun and fired at her. “I understand the boy went back to the house to tell the father that he had seen the antelope that was always coming to eat their cassava in the cassava farm every morning. I only heard gunshot and a rain of bullets on my body,” she said amidst sobs. Headmaster in police custody Ms. Enechejo was rushed to the Catholic Hospital, Moniaya, in Igoli, Ogoja, for treatment but after some days was taken back to Mbube where the bullets are being extracted from her body the traditional way by local experts. “She is recovering gradually, but the bullets are still in her body that is why she is still shivering,” said Cathrine Umoru, her elder sister, who traveled to Ogoja to nurse her at the traditional healing home pending full recovery. Mrs. Umoru disclosed that the INEC zonal officer for Ogoja had visited and “we have not been asked to pay any bills. We do not know what will happen when she gets well.” The police in Ogoja said the headmaster, whose identity they could not reveal, has been taken to Calabar for further interrogation, as the matter was above the Area Command to handle. However when contacted, the police public relations officer in Cross River Police Command , Etim Dickson [ASP], denied knowledge of the incident. But a reliable source at the state police headquarters in Calabar said the headmaster is being held by detectives of the homicide department and may be charged to court for attempted murder. Michael Igini, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner also confirmed to NEXT that “the girl is recovering, and the bullets are being extracted from her body.” culled off the internet [ cant remember where ] |

Very tragic, but could not help but laugh once I realised the young lady is doing fine. I wish her speedy recovery, health, vigour and vitality. May she not lose any vital member to this avoidable accident. And to the great hunter  May you not fall into such error in your next life (shio!) |
