From ALOYSIUS ATTAH, Onitsha
A middle-aged man trading at the Onitsha main market, Obinna Adimora has been admitted into a private hospital following injuries inflicted on him by a Christmas cow in Awada area of Onitsha yesterday. Trouble started for Obinna when tenants in a commercial building located in Ben Aghaeze Street contributed money and bought a live cow for Christmas merriment.
Daily Sun gathered that the cow was purchased at the popular Ugwuoba cattle market near Awka at the cost of N120, 000 while the tenants planned to kill the cow on December 25 morning and the meat shared in equal proportion among the contributors. While a butcher earlier contracted for the slaughtering was sharpening his knife, suddenly, the cow made a loud noise, broke the rope where it was tied and charged ferociously at the people. In a twinkling of an eye, the cow broke a table placed in front of the building, used the horns to break a car windscreen as everybody ran for their dear lives. In the ensuing melee, Obinna fell while running and the cow attacked him with horns.
It was the combined efforts of some Hausa (suya sellers) and maiguard in the vicinity who rescue Obinna and also arrested the raging cow, which was slaughtered immediately. As at the time of filing this report, Obinna was responding to treatment at Okoye Memorial Hospital, Awada. Efforts to speak with the medical director proved abortive as the doctor was said to be busy attending to patients.
Some residents of Ben Aghaeze Street who spoke to Daily Sun expressed surprise over the attack, saying that the cow may be mad or possessed by an unclean spirit. But one of the tenants simply called Ikechukwu said whatever may be wrong with the cow was immaterial since the meat would be devoured by all the contributors. He regretted the attack on Obinna during this festive period and expressed hope that he would recover fast.
HAHAHAHA..ME I DEY LAUGH..OOOH,VERY FUNNY,WELL BYTHE TIME OBINNA WILL EAT THE MEAT HE WILL BE OK
HAHAHAHA..ME I DEY LAUGH..OOOH,VERY FUNNY,WELL BY THE TIME OBINNA WILL EAT THE MEAT HE WILL BE FINE,..BUT SOMEBODY SHOULD ASK OBINNA WHAT HAPPING TO HIS FATHER ,BEFOR HE WILL TRY COW AGAIN NEST XMASS
The cow must be one of the Boko Haram trained cows sent to south to cause trouble.
Part of the festivity.

I’m not suprise, the cow has demostrated the extremist and violent nature of the north and their associates.”terrorist”
Na boko haram latest tactics to use cows high on wee to molest peace loving Ndi igbo. Chai hausa abatago awka!
Are you saying that the Igbos there are cowards and cannot stop the cow until a Fulani/Hausa man come to the rescue? Peace loving ko, peace loving ni. You guys could have called your kidnappers to shoot and kill the cow. All of you cringe at the sight of an Hausa/Fulanis.
he (obinna) should b given d lion share, by d tym he ingests it d attack will be history, what an irony when d southerners in d north r bin terrorized by deir northern cantapats deir cows r unleashng mayhem again now in d south, whr we go go dis tym aland?
LMAO….. The hunter has turned to hunted. Obina sorry ooo, dont mind the yeye cow wey no wan die…. Abeg give Obina the Largest portion of the meat.
Pple shld learn a lesson frm dis, no one wil lik to die no matter wht. Obinna get wel soon n enjoy ur own meat!
Did anyone notice the picture? The writer wrote that the cows broke the windshields of another car with its horn, but where are the horns? This is a picture of another lonely cow without horns, roaming the street!
Obinor, get well quick. Merry Christmas anyway.
Pls ur’all Don’t blame d cow,it’s only tree heard dat it’ll be killed n stand,d poor cow took a defensive action,
