A gun totting hoodlum, suspected to be a kidnapper operating in Delta State, attacked the Lagos home of his girlfriend, killing her and seven other members of her family.
According to Vanguard Newspaper, the alleged kidnapper - simply identified as Henry - stormed the home of his girlfriend, known as Sandra, at about 10 pm on Saturday with an AK-47 rifle and opened fire on all the occupants of the apartment, leaving Sandra, her elder sister and two of her elder sister's children, dead.
But it's not all doom and gloom though: Sandra's twin sister and one of her elder sister's daughter did survive the attack.
Mad man 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.
Policemen were dispatched to Igando in search of the gunman, who it was reported, drove in an SUV to the scene. They arrived late, but Sandra's surviving twin sister had breath enough to tell them who the shooter was.
According to a Vanguard 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."
The moral of the story here is. . . Be careful who you fall in love with: All that glitters is not gold. If you're not sure about the nature of your friend's source of wealth, or you have misgivings about the kind of friends he or she keeps, you need to. . .
. . . Run for the hills!
We hope they catch that no good, son-of-a b***h killer!!!
