There was disarray during the weekend at Oba Market Benin
after a 23-year-old hair dresser named Miss Faith Idehen, had her left
ear bitten off by her Landlord’s daughter.
According to a report by Vanguard,
trouble started when the landlord’s daughter demanded for N1,500, being
the monthly payment for electricity bill. The hairdresser pleaded that
she did not have up to that amount, but deposited N1,000 with a promise
to pay the balance of N500 later in the day.
She then left the compound and boarded a commercial bus to her place of work at Oba Market.
Unknown to her, the landlord’s daughter allegedly
trailed, caught up with her at the popular Yanga Fish Market and pounced
on her.
Faith was reported to have fainted as she bled profusely
from her left ear before passers-by and onlookers rescued her from the
grip of her attacker, who threatened to deal with her entire family as
she was rushed to Central Hospital. Over a balance of #500? Na wa.
She was eventually arrested by policemen after a 24-hour
siege was laid to her residence & a Police source confirmed to
Vanguard that the suspect would be charged to court for alleged assault
and attempted murder.
