A 49-year-old Nigerian woman, Nkechinyere Nnaama has been killed while rushing to assist her 16-year-old daughter, Ifunanya, who was being attacked by a horny man who lived in the same building with them.
The daughter was also killed by the assailant in the incident which reportedly happened on March 30th, 2021.
According to a tribute uploaded on Facebook by, Amaka Okeagu, the mother came back home from school and found the young man who lived in the building with them rough-handling her daughter allegedly in a bid to subdue and rape her.
The woman was said to have shouted at the assailant, calling other people’s attention to what was happening. This reportedly prompted the suspect to take a hammer and hit her on the head, knocking her unconscious. The suspect reportedly did the same to the teenage girl before running away.
Nkechinyere reportedly died on the way to the hospital, while her daughter passed away a day later, March 31.
It was learnt that the suspect was later arrested by the police. He was said to have also confessed to the crime.
The victims are to be buried on Friday, June 4, 2021, in their hometown, Umuonaga village Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
