A 16-year-old girl identified as Marie Thérèse Ngolingock in a viral video on the Internet was seen being tortured, shaved, and set on fire by a gang of six girls.
MMI has learned that the incident took place in Douala, Cameroon.
Genesis
Ngolingock was reportedly lured to the home of one of the girls under the guise that her boyfriend wanted to see her. While there, the girls attacked her and claimed that she was dating one of their friends’ boyfriends.
The girls can be seen in the video beating up the victim. Her attackers shaved her head and then poured gasoline on her before setting her on fire. Neighbours rushed her to the hospital after hearing her cries of distress. But it was already too late, and Ngolingock was later confirmed dead.
On the run
The six girls are now on the run. A manhunt has been launched to uncover their whereabouts. The motive for the attack is unclear, but police believe it may be related to a love affair.
This is a horrific crime that has sent shockwaves through the community. According to reports, the victim was an orphan living with her grandmother, who is presently devastated, and the police are working hard to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Outrage
Many people have denounced this action and are calling for the criminals to face justice and imprisonment.
“I am still trying to figure out where such young girls take their courage from. What kind of movies they watch and if they have blood flowing in their veins or something else ” lamented Vicky Ngwem on Facebook
” I watched the video and cried so badly. Girls her age were abusing the young girl, as I witnessed. It is horrible. I saw devils at work. Let divine justice prevail,” said Siakam Ulrich
Another angry fellow added, “Let these girls be brought out in public, beaten, stripped naked, and set ablaze just as they did to that young girl. The devil has really succeeded in possessing some humans “.
This is just one of the many cases of domestic violence perpetrated by women against another woman. A similar incident happened last year in Molyko Buea, where a young lady, after being lured by a group of three girls, was tortured, shaved, and stripped naked for having an affair with the boyfriend of one of them.
What do you make of this? Are Cameroonian young girls desperate for love or misunderstanding the whole idea of love? Are girls at such an age even supposed to be having love affairs?
