A female student of College of
Education, Oju was on Thursday shot while sitting in front of her residence at
Lawani hostels, situated outside the school campus. The problem started over a
problem between a student of the institution and her male colleague.
The soldier who is said to be the boyfriend
of the female student, apparently based on information from her lover came to
whisk away the male student but was resisted by other students insisting he
must get an approval from the school management.
“At that point, the angry soldier went away,
promising to come back. That evening the soldier went back to the institution
with some of his colleagues to abduct the said Anthony but was resisted by
students in the institution who also aided Anthony to escape.
“Vexed by the action of the students,
the soldier opened fire and the innocent girl who was sitting in front of her
door got hit at the side of her chest.
“She was rushed to Adoga hospital in
Oju where she was given two pints of blood because she had lost so much blood
and thereafter rushed to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, BSUTH,
for further treatment because the bullet could not be extracted and her
condition was deteriorating.
