Odume Princess Pascaline, a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving in Akwa Ibom State, escaped lynching by the skin of her teeth after she allegedly butchered a young man believed to be her boyfriend.
The lady was stripped and beaten to an each of her life by an irate mob which descended on her after the incident, which took place around 9.30am on Sunday.
She was allegedly caught trying to scale the fence to make good her escape.
The incident, which took place in a compound at Abak road by Afaha-offot, Uyo, has added to the growing list of lives lost in relationships gone-awry, which is fast becoming a disturbing phenomenon in the society.
Godwin George, a Facebook user who was at the scene of the incident and captured part of the incident, wrote: “She was found this morning around 9.30am trying to jump the fence of a young guy she went for hook-up with. Blood stains were all over her so she was caught and beaten to stupor and also stripped NAKED. (I won’t be able to post the video on my timeline cos it’s so disgusting).
“She macheted a young guy to death this morning whom she went out with. She killed the young guy instantly after several cuts on his stomach and face, on trying to jump out from the fence she was caught. Some bike men there said that she is used to sending them I buy weed for her ever since she was deployed to Akwa Ibom for her NYSC”.
The suspect, a graduate of University Of Nigeria Nsukka, hails from Udi in Enugu State.
