A serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Miss Odume Pascaline has allegedly stabbed a young man to death.
Odume Pascaline, a graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka was said to have used a machete to repeatedly stab her lover, after a possible marathon sex lasting throughout Saturday night.
Identified on Facebook as Odume Princess Pascaline, the Anambra born graduate was caught on Sunday morning around 9:30am at Abak Road, Uyo, trying to jump over a fence from the compound where her dead lover lived.
A large crowd had gathered at Abak Road by Afaha-Offot where she was caught, stripped naked and beaten to a pulp by an angry mob.

“Blood stains were all over her, and as she tried to escape, people saw her and were worried about what might have happened for her wears to have been so stained with blood. And her suspicious brisk walk and an attempt to skid the fence, gave her out as she was caught, stripped naked and beaten to stupor.
