The alleged mysterious attack from ghosts or spirits suffered by some persons at a popular brothel in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, have continued to trail mixed reactions.
This is just as a commercial sex worker, Miss Chika Obi, who was one of the unconscious victims in the wake of the attack, regained consciousness, saying she did not know how she landed in the hospital.
It would be recalled that the body of a lady suspected to be a commercial sex worker, alongside the body of a man and some unconscious persons, was on Wednesday retrieved from the said brothel..
Guests at the brothel located on Uyo Street, Uzuakoli Road, were reported to have taken to their heels when panic-stricken prostitutes rushed out of the brothel at about 8am with loud screams of ‘ghost, ghost, ghost!’.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Nta Ogbonnaya Nta, who confirmed the incident, had said the police recovered two bodies and six unconscious persons from the building, adding that the unconscious persons were receiving medical attention at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Umuahia.
As the cause of the tragedy remains a mystery, Miss Obi insisted she cannot recall what happened.
Speaking with New Telegraph, the survivor, who hails from Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State, said “I have been residing in that hotel for over six months now doing my hustling business to survive. We pay a certain amount of money to the owner of the place. The owner is a fat woman.
“Honestly, I cannot remember what happened. All I can tell you is that I slept in my room as usual. I was alone that night because I did not get any client. Then I saw myself here in the hospital.
“I do not know if it is a spiritual attack or what. I cannot explain how so-called ghosts struck. I’m confused, I cannot even remember where my phone is. But we used a generator that night, when there was no electricity. The generator set was not very far from my room.
“I do not have any relative here, but I thank God, I survive this mysterious attack, be it spiritual or what.
“The night to that incident, I did not take any drink at all. Honestly, I did not drink anything. Please, I want to be discharged. I want to go home,” she stated.
Meanwhile, the PPRO reinstated that the police would go after the owner (a woman) of the brothel, adding that the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigations Department, SCID, had begun investigation into the incident.
