Mrs Amaka Ohanwe, a mother of two and house wife has lost
her right eye because she refused her neighbours sexually advances. According
to her, she was a very good friend of Kingsley Ohanwe, her neighbour who assaulted
her, but when she noticed he was desperate to have sex with her, she started
avoiding him. He became aggressive and attacked her shortly after she started
avoiding her. Doctors have said I can’t see again with my right eye, she said. Below is how Pm News is reporting it. Completely sad!
A 35-year old man, Arinze Kingsley, has left a married
woman, Mrs Amaka Ohanwe, partially blind when she allegedly refused his sexual
advances. Amaka was seriously injured in her right eye when she was
allegedly beaten up by Kingsley at a beauty salon.
She said after undergoing several operations, the doctors at
Apapa General Hospital confirmed that she cannot see with the eye again.
Following the assault, the police at Area ‘B’ Apapa arrested
Kingsley and charged him with assault before Apapa Magistrate’s Court after
which he was remanded in Kirikiri Prisons in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
Both Amaka and Kingsley, who is still single, admitted that
they were friends but Amaka said they were just friends not lovers.
She said she stopped relating with Kingsley when she
discovered that he was desperate to have sex with her despite the fact that he
knew that she was married and had two kids.
She said after several attempts by him to sleep with her
failed, he became aggressive and when she noticed that, she started avoiding
him.
Amaka said Kingsley eventually traced her to a salon at Pen
Crescent, Apapa, Lagos where she went to have her hair done and attacked her in
front of the beauty shop.
“He waited for me outside the salon. When he saw me, he
started abusing me after I refused his advances. I replied him and he hit my
eye and threw me on the floor. He started
hitting his head on my eyes until I started bleeding,” she told the
court.
Amaka said it was their neighbours who came to her rescue
and took her to the hospital, while Kingsley immediately started his motorcycle
and rode off after attacking her.
She alleged that after the attack, Kingsley boasted that
nothing would happen to him because he has money to bail himself out of any
difficult situation.
Amaka reported the case to the police but alleged that she
was asked to collect N30,000 for her eye operation in order to settle the matter
out of court.
Amaka said she had spent over N200,000 on the surgeries but
they were not successful.
She called on the state government to come to her aid and
ensure justice was done in the matter. Meanwhile, when Kingsley was contacted,
he admitted attacking Amaka but said he wanted to settle the matter out of
court but she refused.
When he was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding magistrate, Mrs O.A Adegbite, granted him bail
in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was, however, remanded in prison custody pending when he
will fulfill his bail conditions
The matter was adjourned till 24 March.
