It is a sad story for a female medical doctor identified as Dr.
Theresa who was seriously battered by an Air Force Officer, who is also a
medical doctor simply identified as Dr. Okpara. The battered woman is
fighting for her life at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Teaching
Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife.
According to reports, trouble started when Dr. Theresa who live in
the same building with the Air Force officer was told to come and remove
her car which was blocking the Air Force officer's car from moving out
of the compound.
It was gathered that Dr. Theresa, a senior registrar 1 at the
Psychiatry Department of the hospital begged Dr. Okpara to exercise
patience as she was dressing up.
Dr. Okpara, a Wing Commander with the Nigeria Air Force, who is
undergoing his residency programme at the Department of Community
Medicine, OAUTHC got infuriated because Dr. Theresa wasted little time.
It was revealed that Dr. Okpara pounced on her and dealt some
blows to her face and other parts of her body before other tenants came
to rescue her. The woman was rushed to the hospital in critical
condition.
Theresa, a sickle cell anemia patient is said to be battling for her life since last Wednesday.
The President of the Association of Resident Doctors at OAUTHC, Dr.
Wole Ayegbusi, confirmed the incident. He said the Air Force doctor
beat up a female doctor living in the same building where the parking
space is small.
”It is true. An Air force officer, who is also a doctor, beat
up a female doctor. Both of them are living in the same building where
the parking space is small.
“I was told that the guy wanted to go out but the female doctor
parked directly behind his car. He called her to come and remove her
car but the lady was dressing up so it took a while.
”She was rushed to the hospital by other tenants and it has
been confirmed that she has cerebrospinal fluid leaking from her brain.
Also frontal bone fracture was detected and nasal depression. She may
have to undergo surgery or live with her deformed face,” Ayegbusi said.
Ayegbusi called on Nigerians to join in praying for the quick
recovery of the female doctor and that the perpetrator be held
responsible.
