Accident – Death – Obituary News : Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have once again wreaked havoc in Enugu State, resulting in the tragic death of a 16-year-old student and the sexual molestation of his sister. The victim, identified as Chikamso, was a student at Nsukka High School and hailed from Ukpata in the Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State. The incident occurred on Saturday, leaving the community in shock and mourning.
According to reports, Chikamso and his younger sister were on their way back to Nsukka when they were intercepted by the armed assailants. The gunmen proceeded to sexually abuse the young girl, prompting Chikamso to intervene. Tragically, he was shot in the head while trying to protect his sister from further harm. The heartbreaking scene was captured in a video that circulated on social media, showing the lifeless body of the student surrounded by grieving family members.
The attack took place at Ukwuapku, a remote area between Ukpata and Uvuru communities, where such incidents have become all too common. Residents of the agrarian communities in the Uzo-Uwani council area have been living in fear due to the frequent attacks by armed men believed to be herders. Just recently, a similar attack resulted in the death of four individuals at Ugwuijoro Nimbo.
The surviving victim, Chikamso’s sister, is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Nsukka town. The authorities have been alerted to the incident, but there has been no official statement from the police or other security agencies regarding their response to the ongoing violence in the region. Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, for comment were unsuccessful.
The tragic death of Chikamso has once again highlighted the security challenges faced by residents of Enugu State, particularly in rural areas where such attacks have become alarmingly frequent. The community is calling for urgent action to ensure the safety and protection of its members from further harm. The loss of a promising young student like Chikamso has left a void in the hearts of his loved ones and the entire community, who are now demanding justice for the senseless act of violence that claimed his life..
