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.
