Evelyn Nafula, 42, a Kenyan woman, is currently receiving medical attention for her injuries at the Kakamega County Referral Hospital after being raped at gunpoint and abandoned by two unidentified men.
It was learned that the two guys, who claimed to be looking to rent a home, asked her to open her gate so they could leave their car there while visiting the unoccupied home she was renting.
They bundled her inside the car after opening the gate and started driving to an unknown location.
Nafula’s 13-year-old daughter, a seventh-grade student, told the police: “My mother was visited by two unknown men who asked for a vacant house to rent within the plot. She picked keys to open the house but they requested her to open the gate for them to park their car inside. While opening the gate the two bundled her inside the vehicle whose registration number was not taken and drove to an unknown destination.”
The two men left a message at the gate, which the police discovered, stating that the woman will pay for the sins her husband had committed. The note to her husband Samuel Ojwang read, “Because of your sins, your beloved wife will pay.”
Drivers discovered the rape victim by the side of the road, looking faint. She was taken by ambulance to Oasis Hospital and then transferred to the Kakamega County Referral Hospital, where it was discovered that her gun-wielding kidnappers had sexually assaulted her before leaving her for dead on the side of the road.
A manhunt for the culprits and an investigation into the case have been launched by the Navakholo police.
It is a pity. Thank God she wasn’t killed. It is unfortunate how the hearts of many are so cold. Many have suddenly lost humanity.
If they had a case with her husband, why can’t they take it to court. We wish her a speedy recovery and pray the culprits are arrested.
