Justice has been swiftly delivered in a disturbing attempted murder case involving Ms. Nmesomachukwu Johnson, a Nigerian woman who narrowly escaped death after a brutal and premeditated attack.
The incident, which occurred on December 10, 2025, came to public attention after Johnson shared a chilling account of her ordeal on social media. According to her testimony, she was violently assaulted for nearly an hour by two young men, allegedly aided by their mother, in what investigators later described as a deliberate attempt to kill her.
Johnson recounted that she was pushed and rolled down a staircase in a two-storey building, kicked repeatedly on a cement floor, and beaten “like a bag of rice.” She sustained severe injuries to her knees and ankles, while her eyes reportedly bled heavily from the assault. The attackers also attempted to strangle her by holding her throat tightly, but she resisted and fought back.
In a crucial development, Johnson revealed that she managed to secretly record part of the attack on her phone before it was forcefully taken from her. The recording, alongside visible bodily injuries, later became key evidence in the case.
“Some boys with their mother planned to kill me today, but God being on my side, I didn’t die,” she wrote in an emotional post following the incident. “God is faithful. Kenere m Chim oooo.”
The matter was promptly reported to the police and classified as attempted murder. The two male suspects were arrested the same day and taken into custody, while their mother was also apprehended but later released on health grounds.
In subsequent updates, Johnson disclosed that the case was charged to court within 48 hours, with investigators presenting what she described as “concrete evidence,” including video footage and medical proof of her injuries.
In a final update shared on Friday, Johnson announced that the suspects had been found guilty and sentenced to prison on a three-count charge.
“Justice has been served,” she stated. “Within 72 hours of reporting this incident, the case was investigated, charged to court, and the offenders were convicted and remanded in prison custody. This proves that the Nigerian justice system is active and effective.”
She commended the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) handling the case for their professionalism, dedication, and swift action, while repeatedly expressing gratitude to God for sparing her life.
The case has drawn widespread attention online, with many Nigerians praising the speed of the investigation and prosecution, especially amid ongoing concerns about violent crimes and access to justice.
We wish Nmesomachukwu Johnson a full and speedy recovery.
