Iphie’s voice silenced forever…

The gruesome murder of famous Rhythm 93.7 FM, Port Harcourt on-air personality, Miss Iphie Aggrey-Fynn, has once again brought to the fore the growing case of violent crimes in Aba, Abia State.

Aggrey-Fynn, who described herself as a writer and motivational speaker, was murdered on Monday evening while on a visit to Aba to see her parents and siblings.

 A source close to the family disclosed to The Guardian that Iphie, as she was popularly known, was being driven home by an unidentified male friend at about 7:00 p.m. on Monday and just as they arrived Udu Street in Aba North Local Council, where her parents reside, some unknown gunmen attempted to intercept the vehicle.

Sensing that the gunmen had a sinister motive, Iphie’s perceived male friend was said to have made efforts to avoid the gunmen, who were then got infuriated and shot sporadically at the car.

Overwhelmed by the persistent booming gunfire, the driver of the car was forced to park and the gunmen who had scared residents of the street indoors, walked up to the man and took him away to an unknown destination.

The source explained that after about 30 minutes, some residents of the streets, who were courageous enough to come out of their homes, went to Iphie’s friend’s car and found her lying in her pool of blood.

 Some residents of the street, who easily identified her, immediately rushed her to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
“She was shot by some kidnappers, who came to kidnap the person that was driving her home, I suppose. She was inside the car and the kidnappers stormed the place. They shot sporadically at the car and one of the bullets struck her from at the back of her head and so she fell inside the car and the driver stopped. The kidnappers came, took the driver away and abandoned his car, not even minding if they had killed somebody. Some people on her street tried to rush her to the hospital, but she was already dead before they got to the hospital as she was bleeding profusely from her head,” he said.

The tragic death of Iphie, who graduated from the Department of Linguistics and Communication Studies, Abia State University, Uturu in 2005, has left her parents, siblings, friends, colleagues and acquaintances in grief.
