There was disarray during the weekend at
Oba Market Benin after a 23-year-old hair dresser named Miss Faith
Idehen, had her left ear bitten off by her Landlord's daughter.
According to a report by Vanguard,
trouble started when the landlord's daughter demanded for N1,500, being
the monthly payment for electricity bill. The hairdresser pleaded
that she did not have up to that amount, but deposited N1,000 with a
promise to pay the balance of N500 later in the day.
Unknown to her, the landlord's daughter allegedly
trailed, caught up with her at the popular Yanga Fish Market and pounced
on her.
Faith was reported to have fainted as she bled profusely from
her left ear before passers-by and onlookers rescued her from the grip
of her attacker, who threatened to deal with her entire family as she
was rushed to Central Hospital. Over a balance of #500? Na wa.
She was eventually arrested by policemen after a
24-hour siege was laid to her residence & a Police source confirmed
to Vanguard that the suspect would be charged to court for alleged
assault and attempted murder.
