lost her pregnancy after one of her neighbours’ sons, ThankGod,
allegedly gave her a headbutt during an argument.
According to Punch, Mrs. Peter lived in the same compound with
Thankgod’s parents on Odinaka Street, Afromedia, Ajangbadi in Lagos
State. Trouble started when Mama Thankgod got into an argument with Mrs
Peter over the use of water. Mama Thankgod alleged that she pumped
water which Peter’s domestic help, identified as Oluchi, had used
without her permission.
Oluchi was said to have denied using the water, which resulted in a
quarrel between Mama ThankGod and Mrs Peter, with the former said to
have called the latter a witch. Oluchi was said to have told Mama
ThankGod that her boss is not a witch.
Angry that the househelp challenged his mother, ThankGod allegedly
attacked a pregnant Mrs Peters by giving her a headbutt, while his
mother allegedly gave him a stone, which he used to injure the pregnant
woman.
Peter was said to have fainted after the attack and rushed to the New Life Hospital in Ajangbadi for medical attention.
An eyewitness said that while Peter was taken to the hospital,
ThankGod rushed to the Okokomaiko Police Station to report that he and
his mother were manhandled by the pregnant lady. The eyewitness said the
Divisional Police Officer sent two policemen to arrest Peter from the
hospital, adding that when the policemen got to the hospital, a doctor
asked them to arrange for a vehicle to convey the lady to the station.
“ThankGod and his mother inflicted serious injuries on the woman.
While the woman was taken to the hospital, ThankGod went to report the
matter at the Okokomaiko Police Station as though the lady was the one
that caused the problem.The DPO ordered the arrest of the pregnant lady from the hospital.
When the policemen who were sent to the hospital to arrest the woman got
there, the doctor told them that they could not drag the woman out of
the hospital because of her condition. He asked them to provide a
vehicle, which they did. When the woman was taken to the police station,
the DPO ordered that ThankGod be detained instead, although he was
later released. But from what we gathered, the woman lost her pregnancy
in the process.” he said
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the state police command, Chike Oti, said
“The police had met with both of them and asked them to live together
in peace. We let them know that they could not get anything by fighting
each another. All the parties to the incident suffered different kinds
of injuries. The offence is open to bail. So, the man was released to
go and treat himself. The police have also scheduled another meeting
with them on how they can live peacefully.”
