Woman accuses LUTH of denying rape victim treatment
A real estate and interior design executive, Temitope Bukola has accused the Lagos University Teaching Hospital of insensitivity for refusing to administer Post-Exposure Prophylaxis on a rape victim.
The realtor who made the allegation against LUTH via her official twitter handle @_Temitopebukola narrated the harrowing experience of her salesgirl in the hands of a dispatch rider. “Right now, the dispatcher has absconded. We have been meeting dead ends everywhere and even LUTH said that they can’t administer PEP medication because we insisted on pressing charges! They want us to drop the charges before she can be treated!
“We have a doctor’s report that clearly explains that there was forceful penetration. We also eventually got the PEP treatment already at a military hospital “Our attention has been brought to a piece of news on twitter about an 18-year-old girl who was brought to LUTH by her boss on account of being raped. Our record shows that on 4th June 2020 at about 6 pm, a middle-aged woman came to the Accident and Emergency that her sales girl was reportedly raped by a dispatch rider who had come to deliver items to her shop.
The LUTH management disclosed that a disagreement ensued when the woman was informed the victim would be mandated to pay a fee at the cash point.
