The
rate of violent attacks against defenseless women is alarming and calls
for urgent steps and policies to protect the rights of women.
Once again, the media sphere is agog with news of the stabbing of a young, defenseless woman. Tiwa Banks, an upcoming artiste who sang ‘Olenle’, was allegedly stabbed by her landlord’s son at her apartment on Monday.
Tiwa reportedly had a misunderstanding during the day with Tobi Obadina,
the landlord’s son. However, later that night, he broke into her
apartment, broke a bottle on her head and inflicted some injuries on her
with a broken bottle. He left her in a pool of blood before she was
rushed to the hospital by her brother some of her neighbours.
It was also reported that after
committing the heinous crime, he boasted around the neighbourhood that
he cannot be arrested because he is a son of an ex-officer. But he has
been arrested and is being held at the Police Station.
The pictures of her bloody wounds have
been circulated on the internet and they are very disturbing.
Thankfully, she is now recovering in the hospital where she is being
treated and her case did not turn fatal.
We pray for her speedy and complete recovery.
