Suspected members of a notorious female cult
group in the Bayelsa State-owned Niger Delta
Southern Ijaw Area of the State weekend
attacked a 17-year-old student after she
declined their offer of membership.
The suspected cult members, who were
reportedly led by one Annabela, a final year
student of the Education Department of the
institution, allegedly attacked their victim at
Hostel “F” of the institution and injected her
with a strange substance after subjecting her
to severe torture.
The victim of the attack is a daughter to a
lecturer in the institution and a student of the
Economics department.
While some students claimed the attack on the
victims was due to domestic squabbles among
room mates,others claimed the victim ran into
trouble waters with the suspected cultists due
to her strict Christian ways and refusal to
accept advances to belong to the notorious cult
group which is notorious for lesbianism and
other vices on campus.
A friend to the victim who identified herself
as Claire said the victim was attacked at about
4am last Tuesday in her hostel room.
“She was tied to a chair and severely beaten
by four girls. Her hair attachment was forceful
removed and she was injected with substances
that made her behave in a crazy manner for
days.When the attackers saw that the girl had
fainted,they brought her out of the room in
the early hours of morning, and they were
apprehended.”
Leadership gathered that investigation into
the incident, which was reported to the
Students’ Senate Disciplinary Committee, had
begun and its outcome would be made known
to the institution’s authorities this week.
