Pastor Mathew Asuquo, a resident of Ajegunle community in Lagos state
has petitioned the Lagos state police command over the repeated attack
on his family by one of his neighbors named Jane Osasa. Pastor Asuquo in
his petition alleged that Jane had
repeatedly attacked his family and nothing had been done to get her
arrested even when he reported the case to the Ajeromi police station.
According to him, Jane who is known as Iron Lady in their community, had
an argument in their compound with his wife, Cecilia on Mach 20th and
while they were arguing, Jane allegedly stabbed his wife with a kitchen
knife on her forehead. It gets more gruesome...*graphic photo after the cut*
He said he reported the case at the Ajeromi
police station but Jane wasn't arrested neither was anything done to
caution her. He said a similar incident happened on June 13th when the said
Jane stabbed his daughter, Peace, on the neck. He reported the matter
again to the Ajeromi police station but nothing was done. A third
incident happened on August 8th when the same Jane attacked his niece
who was on holiday in his house. Going by his previous experiences, he
refused going to the Ajeromi police station and so he decided to go to
the Area B Command in Apapa where he met a certain CSP Lukas who gave
him a letter and referred him back to Ajeromi Police station. Officers
at Ajeromi Police station after receiving the letter, picked up Jane who
they detained and said will be charged to court the next day but was
however released later in the evening.
He said on August 11th,
the day his family and Jane were to appear in court, Jane along with her
husband and one of her relative known as Danger, set his only son,
Mathew, ablaze. He is demanding for justice. The person who shared the
story - Iboro Tonye-Edet - said the boy, pictured below, has since died.
He died on the 19th of August after succumbing to his wounds.
