A pregnant woman was rushed to a hospital after being beaten
unconscious by a taxi driver last weekend along Lagos-Badagry expressway, near
Oluti bus stop in Lagos State. She was said to have paid the unknown rider a
stipulated amount of money to convey her from Iyana Iba to First Gate bus stop,
Maza Maza.
According to LeadershipNG, an eyewitness who identified herself
simply as Mama Bola, said the pregnant woman, Feyisara, when she regained
consciousness in a private hospital, said the agreement was for the rider to
move her to First Gate only for him to stop near Oluti, screaming at her to get
off
from the motorcycle.The source said Feyisara disclosed that an argument ensued and the rider wanted
to move the bike but she held his clothes tight, preventing him from escaping.
According to the woman:“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”.Mama added that the rider had zoomed off to an
unknown destination. Police launched an investigation into the incident, but so
far, no arrests have been made. Via.LeadershipNG
