The Bayelsa State Police are actively searching for four girls accused of cyberbullying, assault, and attempted murder after an attack on 19-year-old Nancy Wilfred, a business owner from Delta State. This disturbing episode, which took place on August 29, 2025, in Yenagoa, was brought to public attention when Nancy shared her traumatic experience online.
According to Nancy, the whole ordeal began when she was invited to pick up her clothes from a dry cleaner, but instead found herself trapped in a room, locked in by her friends, and assaulted. She revealed that the girls—Becky, Blessing, Favour, and Miracle—began questioning her before launching an aggressive attack. Nancy was beaten with hard objects, her hair was cut with a knife, and she was threatened with further harm if she spoke up. Meanwhile, Miracle filmed the entire brutal scene.
Nancy’s plea for justice quickly went viral after she detailed her experience on social media, even raising concerns that one of the attackers, Kadi, was released on bail despite being arrested. She expressed her frustration that the legal system seemed to be failing her, with the suspects allegedly getting off too easily.
The Bayelsa State Police, following public outcry, have intensified their efforts to bring the assailants to justice. They have urged the public to stop circulating the disturbing footage, as it could harm Nancy’s emotional recovery. The police are determined to apprehend the suspects and ensure they face the consequences of their actions.
The case has sparked a wider conversation about cyberbullying and violence among young people. Prominent figures, including Dr. Helen Bob, the Technical Adviser to the Governor on Girl Child Development, have condemned the attack, calling for a greater focus on respect, kindness, and empathy in society. Several women’s groups have also joined in demanding justice for Nancy, emphasizing that such behavior is unacceptable and must be stopped.
The incident serves as a painful reminder of the mental toll that such violence and harassment can have on young people, and many are now calling for more immediate action to safeguard vulnerable individuals in their communities.
