A pregnant woman was attacked in horrific way in Yogbo town, Makurdi, Benue State, when persons suspected to be herdsmen allegedly inserted hard object into her vagina, piercing her womb and killing her unborn baby in the process.
The unnamed woman and her husband were waylaid as they made their way through the town. But while her husband escaped, the woman was caught and assaulted as reported.
The Zenald Care Foundation, a non-governmental organisation which operates in the North, shared the details of the assault on Facebook.
Yesterday evening a young pregnant woman was captured by the Fulani herdsmen in Yogbo town Makurdi LGA. She was with her husband who escaped when they started shooting. The men used used sticks to pierce through her private part to kill the unborn child and pull the child and her womb out after which they beat her and left her for dead. When the military went to pick the corpse upon her husband’s report they discovered that she was still alive and brought her down to Bishop Murray Hospital which morning s run by the Catholic Church. We were informed and rushed there.
Preliminary processes and documentation have been done. We have paid for screening and two pints of blood and and I am currently waiting for the bill for the surgery to likely take out the womb.
