Family Demands Justice as Activist Alleges Victim Believed She Would Not Get Fair Hearing
A tragic incident has sparked outrage following allegations that a 20-year-old woman, identified as Miss Favour, died by suicide after she was allegedly sexually assaulted by a popular content creator based in Asaba, Delta State.
According to activist Comrade Israel Joe, the deceased was allegedly lured from Warri to Asaba, where she was reportedly assaulted against her will. He claimed the young woman pleaded with the suspect, telling him she wanted to preserve her virginity until marriage, but her pleas were ignored.
The activist further alleged that after the incident, Favour returned to Warri with the assistance of her mother. He claimed she believed she would not receive justice because the alleged suspect was influential.
Favour, who was reportedly undergoing preliminary nursing training at Wingate Hospital, Okuokoko, before seeking admission into a School of Nursing, allegedly died by suicide after ingesting a poisonous substance. She has since been buried.
Israel Joe also alleged that the deceased’s twin sister, Faith, has been deeply affected by the loss, raising concerns about her emotional wellbeing.
As of the time of this report, the allegations have not been independently verified, and there has been no official statement from the Nigeria Police Force or other relevant authorities. The identity of the alleged suspect has also not been officially disclosed.
Authorities are yet to confirm the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault and the victim’s death. An investigation is expected to clarify the facts of the case.
