A 21-year-old lady, Miss Duke Thelma, residing in Agbarho town near Warri in Delta State was on Sunday assaulted by her 18-year-old ex-boyfriend and his sisters over her refusal to continue what she termed an abusive relationship with the young man.
Thelma told NewsNet Nigeria that she called off the relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Prince Bawo Gbugbemi, in the month of February this year alleging that she has been receiving death threats from her ex-boyfriend and family members over her refusal to accept his appeal since March.
She claimed that on November 13, 2022, she was whisked away in a commercial tricycle popularly called Keke Napep by her ex-boyfriend’s sisters from Apala Street in Warri, where she had gone to attend a social event to somewhere not far from the place and was beaten up and stripped of her clothing.
Thelma’s mother while narrating her daughter’s ordeal disclosed that the case of assault was reported at Police ‘B’ Division in Warri but alleged that nothing is being done to bring the perpetrators to book.
She, therefore, called for justice and relevant human rights organisations to come to their aid as they still receive death threats from her daughter’s ex-boyfriend and his family.
