Married Woman hospitalized after suspected ritualist boyfriend attacked her

A married woman is currently undergoing medical treatment after she was attacked by her alleged boyfriend who is suspected to be a ritualist.

The married woman identified as Funmilola Osundare has been hospitalized in the Federal Medical center after she was invited by her boyfriend who macheted her at his house in Ondo state.

Reports from Vanguard stated that after three days in his house he suddenly attacked her while they were having a nice time together and left varying degrees of machete cuts on her face, shoulders, and hands.

It was her cry for help that attracted neighbours who reported the case to the criminal investigative group, Amotekun.

While the victim was being rushed to the Police Clinic for treatment the suspect fled and the authorities have been on the hunt for him since.

However, she was rejected at the Police Clinic and referred to the University of Medical Sciences, Teaching Hospital, Akure.

The Executive Secretary of the State Agency Against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence(OSAA-GBV), Bola Joel-Ogundadegbe confirmed the incident and stated that she was informed about the incident by the Police.

According to her, the agency quickly notified the First Lady, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, who immediately ordered that the victim be taken to a hospital and, consequently, settled the emergency bills.

‘The victim was on oxygen in the Trauma centre Ondo and back to life, but yet to regain consciousness and strength to talk.’’Joel-Ogundadegbe said.

She noted that no one has been able to identify the suspect and his neighbours simply stated that he is a footballer.

She said that the victim would have to be referred to the Federal Medical Centre for a service of a neurosurgeon, due to the deep wound on her head.
