Photos: OMG!! Armed Robbers Shoot Lady In The Mouth For Resisting Rape

 

Caroline Anande, a widow with seven children who resides in Abuja, has narrated how her younger sister was shot in the mouth by armed robbers.

The victim, Geri can no longer speak after her tongue was hit by her assailants’ bullet. She can no longer turn her head either because the bullet hit part of her neck.
Right now she lies helplessly in bed with sanitary tissues stuffed into the mouth to suck up saliva that drips uncontrollably from there.

Her elder sister narrates the tragic incident thus:
    “My heart is heavy, I am heartbroken looking at my sister lying in pains, and she was supporting me immensely with the little income since my husband died. Continue reading...

    We had been managing to cope with our lean resources until armed robbers surfaced to wipe sleep away from our eyes.

    “Geri, always leaves home at 4:30am for work, even though she left at 5am that morning, because of the daily traffic on the Nyanya-Mararaba express, Abuja.

    “My sister testified after regaining consciousness on a written note, how a masked armed robber snatched her phone and handbag.

    Thereafter, commanded her to undress, she pleaded with them, they were two men the unmasked man was behind backing them while the operation was going on.

    But, they shouted at her to undress amid her pleas explaining that she was menstruating. But these evil agents insisted on raping her.

    “In the struggle, she screamed loud in fear for help, and that angered the armed man wearing mask that shot a bullet into her mouth and vanished, leaving her unconscious and bleeding.

    “It was an okada rider residing within their vicinity that called to inform the sister of the incident.

    “In fact, I was devastated seeing her helpless on the ground.

    Sincerely I thought she was already dead with the quantity of blood on the ground and on her body from heavy bleeding.

    I remain thankful to God and my neighbours who assisted to take her to the Nyanya General hospital where received initial treatment to revive her before she was referred to the Maitama General Hospital where they told us that her was affected by the shot and her tongue almost chopped off.

    “The hospital said a surgery to remove the pellets would only be possible after the wound in her mouth healed.

    We believe God for her healing and the possibility of financial provision for the surgery.”
