A 21-year-old student has been
hospitalised, after she was allegedly pushed down from the third floor
of a building in Lagos, following a disagreement with a man she met on
the social network, Facebook.
The News Agency of Nigeria
reports that Akabugu Nkiruka sustained multiple injuries, including a
pelvis fracture, and was undergoing surgery at the General Hospital,
Marina, Lagos, on Tuesday.
Nkiruka, a Linguistics student of the University of Lagos, told NAN on her hospital bed that she met the young man through the social media, barely a week before the November 1 incident.
She told NAN that the
26-year-old man (name withheld) last Wednesday invited her to a night
club in Apapa from where they ended up in his family home at 1004
Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos.
She noted that the young man had earlier
talked about sex on the phone prior to the outing but she told him she
was menstruating.
Nkiruka said on getting to the house, the man tore her dress and tried to rape her.
According to Nkiruka, the man thereafter
pushed her down from the third floor of the building because she
refused to have sex with him.
When contacted, the man’s mother, who was at home on the night of the incident, however, told NAN that she was not aware of what happened.
