| Late Sandra’s sisters killed by Sandra’s lover Henry |
It was a bloody weekend at Igando area of Lagos
State, when a suspected kidnapper said to be operating in Delta State, attacked
the Lagos home of his girlfriend, killing her and seven others.
Vanguard gathered that the alleged kidnapper,
identified simply as Henry, who is currently on the run, stormed the home of
his girlfriend known as Sandra, around 10 p.m on Saturday, with an Ak-47 rifle
and opened fire on all the occupants of the apartment, leaving Sandra, her elder
sister, with two of her elder sister’s children dead.
Sandra’s twin sister and one of her elder sister’s
daughter, however, survived.
Henry was also said to have proceeded to the home
of another of Sandra’s elder sisters, living in the area, where he reportedly
killed the woman and her three children.
The news of the killing quickly threw the area into
disarray, as residents hurriedly shut their doors to avoid being hit by the
rampaging kidnapper.
Policemen from all formations in the state were
said to have raced down to Igando in search of the kidnapper who they said
drove in a Sport Utility Van, SUV, to the scene.
Sources told Vanguard that an occupant of the
building where Sandra was killed, reported at the Igando Police Station that
robbers were operating in their building.
But when the police got to the scene, the gunman
had left, but they discovered the lifeless bodies of Sandra, her elder sister
and her children, while Sandra’s twin sister who sustained bullet wound told
the police who their attacker was.
According to a source, who pleaded anonymity:
“Sandra’s twin sister told us that the attacker was her late twin sister’s
boyfriend who is familiar with everyone in their family but nobody knew he was
a kidnapper.
“She told us that her late sister used to visit the
boyfriend, Henry, at his base in Delta State and in one of such visits two
weeks ago, some heavily armed men stormed Henry’s apartment manhandling Sandra
in the process.
She added that the armed men reportedly told Sandra
that her lover absconded with their share of the ransom paid to them for one of
their kidnapping exploits, threatening to wipe out all his (Henry’s) family
members if he did not pay them their money.
Thereafter, Sandra contacted her family members in
Lagos, informing them of what had happened to her and they rushed to Delta
State and brought her to Lagos for proper treatments. But while she was
receiving the treatment, Henry, feeling betrayed, stormed their Lagos home. She
told us that the moment Henry entered their apartment, her sister’s children
welcomed him without knowing that he was out to kill them.
