A seven- month pregnant woman was beaten to coma along the Lagos-Badagry
expressway, near Oluti bus stop, Lagos by a commercial motorcyclist on
Monday.
An eyewitness who spoke to Leadership newspaper, Mama
Bola, disclosed that the pregnant woman, Feyisara, had paid the unknown
rider a stipulated amount of money to convey her from Iyana Iba to First
Gate bus stop, Maza Maza, only for him to drop her half way. An
argument soon ensued and the latter held on to the former to prevent him
from escaping.
“The pregnant woman, Feyisara said she had paid
the okada rider the agreed amount only for him to lie that Alakija was
the destination she told him. So, when they reached Alakija, he ordered
the woman to get off but she refused insisting that she would get off at
her destination. So, when the desperate rider wanted to escape and the
woman stopped him, he attempted to remove her hands from his clothes but
to no avail. The man parked the machine and forcefully removed her
hands. The woman said she had no choice than to go after his private
part. An action which probably angered the man as he punched her in the
neck and the woman fell on a stone and was rolling on the ground when
sympathisers saw her and took her to a private hospital. She was
bleeding” she stated.
The whereabouts of the motorcyclist is
unknown but Feyisara has reportedly regained consciousness in a private
hospital, along Old Ojo Road, Agboju area.
