There was confusion in Uyo , Capital of Akwa Ibom State yesterday when a female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member presently serving in the state was beaten and stripped by a mob which accused her of killing a man she reportedly spent a night with.
The lady , identified as Odume Paschaline, said to be an indidgene of Enugu State was seen in a video as she was being beaten and cursed by some men who appeared to be from the community where the incident occurred.
The video, which has gone viral was sent via WhatsApp, and recorded by a man who witnessed the mob action.
The arrival of armed police officers at the scene prevented the mob from lynching the lady who was later driven out of the place in a police van
Photo showed the murder victim, identified simply as Akwaowo, lying in a pool of blood inside his room.
A source who pleaded anonymity said , the victim picked the Lady for an overnight sex spree and in the morning when the lady was about leaving ,an arguement ensued over the amount that was agreed on
” The Lady demanded for her money and in the process , a fight occured and the victim was stabbed by the Lady multiple times leading to his death “.
A visit to Ms Paschaline on her Facebook page described herself as a “nice, good at heart” person, but “with zero tolerance to (for) bullshit”.
According to her profile , She hails from Udi and lived in Enugu State before her deployment for the NYSC programme,
Efforts to reach out to the the spokepersons for both NYSC and the State command of Nigeria Police in Akwa Ibom proved abortive as the duo didn’t reply the sms sent
