Ngozi and her family hail from Amaiyi, Ihitte Uboma local council but reside in Ehume where the sordid crime took place.
Narrating how the incidence happened, Ngozi's father stated that on the day of the incident, her mother had sent her to buy foodstuff from the nearby Onuimo Rescue Market in Obowo, and in a bid to quickly run the errand, the girl took a commercial motorcycle to and from the market.
That was how she boarded the motorcycle piloted by 35-year old Onyekachi Nwankwo, a native of Umunachi, Obowo.
After she finished her shopping, Onyekachi picked Ngozi at the entrance of the market, but told girl that he intended to pick his friend, Chike Njoku, who was waiting for him at the time, at Ekeja Market in Ehume, Obowo.
My daughter innocently agreed. The story suddenly changed when Onyekachi picked his friend and veered off the road into a track leading to the boundary river between Umunachi and Umuagu communities in Obowo.
It was in the bush that the heartless men took turns to gang-rape the girl after forcefully compelling her to go with them by brandishing weapons to her face.
Ngozi also narrated her ordeal:
When I saw the weapons they were holding, I had no option than to follow them. They parked the motorcycle inside the bush, pulled off my dress and had sex with me, one after the other. They left me to my fate thereafter.
