The victim in a chat with men of the press said: “In May, I was not feeling fine and the woman, who was then known as a nurse was invited to treat me. Then, I didn’t know that she was not a registered nurse.
She gave me three injections and I shouted ather to remove it when I felt a very sharp pain. Three days later, the pains became unbearable and one of my legs was completely
deformed. It has really affected me. I could not be mobilised for my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme. I am supposed to be in service now but the pains are too much.”
He noted that “the worst thing is that she abandoned me and later
became very violent after being told that it would require a major to treat my deformed leg.”
