The wife of the Odogwu (War lord) of Ogwash-Uku kingdom, Aniocha South Local Government Area Delta State, Mrs. Ohai, was on Sunday stripped and allegedly raped by irate youths over chieftaincy tussle.
It was gathered that over three houses, a poultry farm and two vehicles worth over N500 million were destroyed during the attack.
Narrating the ordeal to reporters in Asaba, the Odogwu of Ogwash-Uku, Chief Gabriel Ohai, lamented the lawlessness and impunity in the community.
He said: “Police came to re-arrest one Ikechukwu Illoba who led his hoodlums to beat a 75 year-old man to death after an autopsy result. The suspect, who raised alarm and called his cohorts as early as 6am already converged before the arrival of policeman.
“Immediately the police left, the hoodlums moved in their numbers to my house pulled down my gate, fence and moved to my palace and set my house ablaze. They stripped my wife naked, raped her, burnt down my two vehicles and moved to my farm, 20 kilometre away from where I live, and set the building ablaze.”
