Blessing’s friends, who spoke to Daily Trust on Monday, July 28, said the deceased was rushed to different hospitals after the attack but she was allegedly denied immediate treatment because of the absence of a police report.
One of the friends, who did not want her name in print mentioned, said said the NSCDC officer lost her life because she had lost so much blood before she was attended to at a Hospital where she was later confirmed d3ad.
“It is painful that we lost officer Blessing as she was fondly called due to a weaken and uncoordinated system,” she said, adding “someone was dying and you insisted there there must be a police report before she was attended to.
“Honestly, this is very sad to say the least. Besides, she’s also a security personnel. We showed them her office identity card, they still didn’t attend to her, hence the reason we were taking her from one place to another until she d!ed.”
When asked how she was stabbed, another friend explained that “she was on her way somewhere and some persons wanted to rob her of her belongings. I guess they had to stab her to have their way.”
