A married woman nearly lost her life after she was allegedly tricked
to a house by a movie producer. A Nigerian woman by name Mrs. Patience
Bula is asking for justice after she was nearly strangled to death by an
alleged movie director who tricked her to a compound in Benue state.
Here is the sad story how Ukan Kurugh shared it on Facebook:
Quote
“The painful experience of this beautiful new wife must be told.
She was caught in between the claws of death, perhaps for ritual
purposes or for something else, one should wonder. I have urged the
world over and those who believe in the cause of justice to show up at
the Police A Division Wadata-Makurdi this morning by 9am for the
perseverance on the cause of right. I would tell those who would care to
read.
Mrs. Patience Bula (tiv girl) who is a graduate of Mass Communication
and a corp member currently serving at Radio Benue Makurdi was invited
by a friend (Precious), an Igbo Lady and also fellow corper after their
CDS to show up at a movie rehearsal she was taking part in and to
perhaps also pick a simple role. A thing she succumbed to after some
persuasion.
There she was introduced to one Adams Marvin (idoma boy) who was the one
managing the shooting of the movie and was subsequently attached a
simple role and handed the scripts.
Subsequently, she was asked to bring the script as it contained some
roles of other artists, a thing she did voluntarily at the Eunice Resort
Centre, venue of the rehearsal where she had been offered the role.
On Sunday, 10th September, 2017 the said Marvins called Patience
that, there was need to cut down participating actors in the movie to
save cost, hence the production team was short of finance. He therefore
urged Patience to meet him at Hope Clinic, Wadata, where other actors
and actresses were waiting to be shortlisted.
On getting at the clinic, Patience saw no one and Marvins appeared
minutes later to tell her that, all the people were gathered in a house
down the street opposite the hospital. Not convinced enough though, she
decided to make the walk down into a compound and then into a supposed
room where there was no one.
He urged her to sit and then told her that, there was a scramble for
roles and so she should pray that she would not be thrown out. In the
process, he also sat on same bed and bent backwards as if in a bid to
pick something and next she experienced was a stick held at either ends
across her neck in front in a bid to strangle her. She started
struggling and screaming for help which didn’t come. It became a
scramble that lasted minutes. She was determined not to die like a
chicken and struggled until the stick was loosed. Rather, he used the
stick to hit her chest and wipe her back until she became unconscious
hence she had become weak. Only to wake minutes later with fumes on her
mouth in a pool of blood alone in the room. She crawled to the door step
where a boy came over to help her to lie on the corridor.
The scene attracted sympathizers and some of the compound neighbour’s
who had earlier failed to turn up, perhaps fearing the nature of the
maverick Marvin in question. It was in the midst of all this that Marvin
showed up, perhaps believing she must have been dead. Surprised to see
her awake, he started claiming it she was her girlfriend who came and in
the process of love-making started convulsing. It was so unbelievable
and a youth leader who showed up helped recover her phone from the said
room that had by now been switched off though initially fully charged.
All this had taken place about 2:30pm and Patience husband was later
reached who showed up and almost shed tears for what his wife had went
through.
The youth within the area dragged the culprit to the police station
where he is under lock and key. Patience was first taken to a clinic
that asked for consultation of N17,000 and so they left for FMC Makurdi
where doctors where on strike and so she was taken to the FMC Apir,
where she underwent series of tests and some are yet to be done. On a
visit to the police station yesterday, husband to Patience, Mike Bula
lamented that, the police at the station were treating the recidivist,
who already has a plethora of cases against him was all smiles and
claiming that he knows his way. There was no sign of remorse as he is
reputed to have a smooth rapport with the policemen in the said A
division station, Wadata, Makurdi.
Fellow Nigerians, humanitarian, activists, feminist, gender
activists, groups and organizations please let’s ensure justice for this
sister of ours against this monster-killer.
We must stand up against evil with a voice.
Let us all show up this morning by 9am at A Division Police Station,
Wadata-Market, Makurdi to protest and seek the immediate transfer of the
case to police headquarters where fairness will be guaranteed. Let
lawyers and human rights and gender activists do the needful. We must
make the world a better place.”
