On Saturday, February 16, 2013, Henry Chibueze, a notorious
kidnapper terrorizing South East and South South parts of the country, stormed
the home of his girlfriend, Sandra Ijedinma, at Igando area of Lagos State,
with an AK47 assault rifle and opened fire on everyone present in the
apartment, killing his girlfriend, her elder sister Praise Ozor, and her two children.
Not satisfied, Henry proceeded to a nearby street where one
of Sandra’s elder sisters resided and killed the woman and three of her
children, before fleeing.
His anger was said to have been that Sandra, who was an
optician with Madonna University, had called off their relationship, when she
learnt that he was a kidnapper. Sandra’s twin sister, Katherine who
sustained a bullet would during the attack had told
vanguard in 2013 that the
assailant was familiar with everyone in
their family but nobody knew he was a kidnapper . She explained that her late
sister used to visit Henry at his base in Delta State and in one of such
visits, some heavily armed men stormed Henry’s apartment, manhandling Sandra in
the process.
