A Middle-aged woman, Akanji Kemisola who resides at Olawin Quarters Labiran in Ifoyintedo, Ipokia Local government area of Ogun State has narrated how some suspected hoodlums attacked her at her home in Labiran, Ogun State.
Speaking to our Correspondent from her hospital bed, Mrs Akanji said that her ordeal started when her husband was caught at a popular hotel in Ibadan and was accused of engaging in a same sex act.
Mrs Akanji who spoke with tears in her eyes while narrating her ordeal and that of her husband, said the husband who is going through many threats and harassment had to run for his dear life to the present location in Labiran, Ogun State due to constant threats from both the community, family and government, saying that during the period of her husband hiding, they had ran to different locations before getting to the present town, but yet, their tormentors still came after them.
While showing our Correspondent some of the wounds she sustained from the attack, Mrs Akanji said after her husband had escaped to hide himself due to constant threats, she and her only child continued to witness attacks both physical and spiritual.
She said the last week's attack occurred when some youths numbering about Eight invaded her home on that fateful afternoon. They pounced on their home in a commando style, destroying evwry of their properties, and forcefully entered into our rooms, they claimed that their target was my husband who was said to be hiding in the community to escape punishment. All efforts to convince them that my husband is not at home that day proved abortive
They beat me to a pulp and wounded me telling me that I should lead them to where my husband was hiding. It was a good Samaritan that helped me to the hospital because those people had intentions of killing me that day
At that time I was pregnant with the second child, and there was serious outflow of blood, I eventually lost the pregnancy.
She pleaded with eminent Nigerians to come to her aide as her tormentors and that of her family are determined to summarily deal with her husband whenever they see him
All efforts to get the reactions of the Police Public relations Officer in Ogun State, Omolola Odutola proves abortive as her phone number was said to be unreachable.
