Nigerian lady sends SOS to Buhari, Sanwo-Olu over assault by German

Marcus Victoria, 44, has sent a save-our-souls message to President Mohammad Buhari and Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to save her family from a German neighbour, who has been allegedly assaulting them.

Mrs. Marcus claimed that the German and his girlfriend had on many occasions beaten her up in her residence in the Apapa area of Lagos. According to the mother of two, trouble started on December 16, 2018, when the German expatriate, and his mistress from the Republic of Benin, attacked her over a harmless comment and stabbed her on her left palm.

Although the matter which was first reported at the Trinity Police Station but was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Yaba, is now in court, Victoria said the German and his lover have continued to attack her verbally and physically whenever their path cross.

She said the most recent of the attacks was on June 5, 2020, when the German, his lover, and their accomplice, yet-to-be-identified, met her in a bar within the estate.

She claimed the trio rained insult on her, smashed her phone, physically assaulted and almost strangled her, but for her husband and the security men who came to her rescue.

Victoria alleged that the German’s lover told her that she was lucky to be alive as her boyfriend only missed stabbing her in the stomach slightly but warned that she may not be lucky next time.

The panicking woman said she wants the federal and state governments to step into the matter as her family lives in fear in their own country. She further alleged that the German and his wife come regularly to her house, hiding by the fence to rain insult on her. She said that her attackers pose a threat to her life and that of her family.

Narrating her ordeal in the hands of the foreigners, Victoria who is still recuperating after the attack said she needed urgent help from the government.

Victoria said: “ My husband is also an expatriate, who works with a company in Nigeria. We have been married for 15 years and we live in Apapa, designated for the staff of the company.

“My travail started on December 16, 2018, when I went to the estate restaurant to have a plate of pepper soup. I and a few neighbours met and were having a conversation. One of us complained about the fact that people contribute money to picnics, yet, when they get there, they don’t get food to eat. I called the attention of the German’s’ lover to the matter because the picnics often held at their beach house. She flared up and started ranting.

“ Her man, the German who was not too far from the table where we sat, came close and on hearing the matter, became violent. He picked a bottle, broke it, and was heading towards me, but the people there stopped him. He picked another and they stopped him again. People pleaded with him to be calm and let the matter pass.

“ He acted as though all was well and walked to the table where I sat to also take a seat. But I was shocked when he got to the table, he picked a bottle, broke it, and was aiming for me. I wanted to run but fell. He rushed to me and wanted to stab me in the abdomen, but I covered my abdomen with my left hand and he stabbed me in my palm. He wanted to grab my neck, but a neighbour rescued me.

“ The wound affected the nerves in that hand and to date the hand is numb, shrinking, and I don’t use the hand. I reported the case at the Trinity Police Station. Three months into the investigation of the matter, he sent people to me to ask how much I wanted, he never came to say he was sorry for what he did, so I refused his financial compensation because I wanted justice. I know a Nigerian cannot go to his country and do the same.

“He even met me on one occasion and boasted that if I decide to go to court, the case will remain in court for seven years, that I was only wasting my time because seeking justice in Nigeria is an effort in futility. He practically made mockery of our judiciary.”

On the recent attacks, she said: “ The lockdown occasioned by Coronavirus pandemic stalled the case. But it was like the lockdown also brought me more trouble, as whenever the German or his lover set eyes on me, they would start abusing me, and because I know we have a case in court and also did not want more trouble I would pretend I did not hear them and just walk away.

“ The Nigerian government should come to my aid. My life is being threatened by these foreigners. I had even gone to make a report to Nigeria Immigration Service on the matter but nothing was done.

“ I am tired and need urgent help. I am a Nigerian and I see no reason foreigners would be making me live in fear in my own land when I have done nothing wrong to them, ”

she said.
