This
could pass for one of the wonders of the world. It is a strange but
true life story of a 22-year lady, Chinyere Alegu, who dragged her
cousin’s daughter, Chioma Edukwu, 5, to a nearby bush, inserted her
fingers in her mouth and pulled out her tongue . The victim died as a
result of the wicked act.
The incident took place at Ndi Duma Ekpaomaka village, in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
According to a source, the suspect allegedly committed the crime under the influence of some unseen forces.

He
narrated how the suspect behaved strangely, each time the spirit came
upon her. But despite that, Chinyere was said to have taken her
Christian life seriously and even became a ‘prayer warrior.’
Crimewatch was also told that the suspect, who was described by many as a very quiet person, usually saw vision and received revelations ‘anytime she was in spirit’.

One
day, she told her relatives how she dreamt and the spirit directed her
to pull out an object from an elderly woman’s mouth. However, when she
woke up from sleep, she traveled to her cousin’s village, Ishiekke
Igbubuikwo and told him she wanted to train his daughter, Chioma.
Monday Edukwu was said to have granted her request and asked Chioma to
go with her.
Chinyere was said to have taken the little girl to her elder sister’s house at Ekpaomaka where they slept in the same room.

At
about 1.30a.m., Chinyere claimed she was directed to go and pray for an
elderly woman and to pull out an object from her mouth but she decided
to go along with the victim.
But instead of going to the woman’s house as she claimed, she dragged the little girl to a bush, which was a kilometre away from her sister’s house, allegedly pushed her to the ground and started praying for her.
As the prayer was going on, she allegedly inserted her fingers in the girl’s mouth and pulled out her tongue. And when the suspect came back to her senses, she realised that it was Chioma, and not the elderly woman from whose mout.hhe ‘removed the object’ .

Realising
the implication of what she did, she raised the alarm and beckoned on a
hunter, that was passing by for assistance. Crimewatch gathered that
the girl died before help could come her way.
The news of the incident spread like wildfire and attracted the villagers to the scene. They reported the matter at Ikwo Police Station while policemen went to the bush where they arrested Chinyere and recovered a copy of Holy Bible.
The suspect, who spoke to Crimewatch, said: “ I am a hair dresser by profession. I love to evangelise and attend churches and where they hold rallies and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I
was sleeping when the Holy Spirit instructed me to go and pull out an
object from an elderly woman’s mouth. I dreamt again before I took
Chioma to the bush for prayer and while there, I used my hands to
remove her tongue.
“Having realised what I did, I raised the alarm and appealed to people to come and help me revive her. I used my right hand to remove her tongue. Sometimes, Holy Spirit visit me. I can pray in the house for three to four hours. I don’t know what to say but to beg my cousin to forgive me,” she lamented.

The
deceased’s father told the reporter that he was surprised that Chinyere
killed his daughter. “She came to me to request that my daughter stayed
with her. Two days later, information got to us that Chioma, my first
daughter, was found dead in the bush. I saw my daughter’s tongue on the
ground and was later told that Chinyere removed it. I want law to take
its course, I want justice to be done. I don’t know what came over her.
I know her to be a Christian, a prayer warrior,” the grieving father
said.
The
Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adeola Adeniji, said the
suspect had been arrested and would be tried for murder. He said: “We
didn’t see any object on her apart from the Bible.”
