Residents of Iyana-Isashi community of Lagos State were recently
thrown into confusion when a young lady suddenly went dumb after she visited a
lover she met on Facebook in Lagos.
It was learned that the young lady, who hails from Benue State but resides in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, became dumb after spending the
night in her lover’s arms.
Trouble, as gathered, started in the morning when the victim
woke up, took a sachet of water and went outside to brush her teeth.
Thereafter, she noticed all of a sudden that she had gone dumb.
According
to the suspect, “I met the victim on social media, and we became friends and
then started dating. Last week, she came from Port Harcourt to Lagos to visit
me. We spent time together everything was okay until the next morning when she
woke up and decided to brush her teeth.”
Explaining further, the suspect said, “She took a sachet of
water from the bag of ‘pure water’ inside the house. She stepped outside and by
the time she finished brushing her teeth, she noticed she could no longer talk.
I was scared because she spoke to me when she woke up that morning before
taking water and going outside to brush her teeth.”
It was gathered that when all efforts to assist the victim
recover her speech failed, police from Iyana-Isashi Division were invited to
arrest the suspect.
Confirming
the arrest, the spokesperson of Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin
Hundeyin, said the suspect was arrested and later released when the victim’s
parents came to the station and revealed that it is a reoccurring spiritual
attack afflicting the victim. Her parents insisted on taking the victim to
their hometown in Benue State to find a remedy to the issue.
