A 69-year-old woman, Florence Ogunsanya, has cried out to the police and other security agencies for help after she was assaulted by some suspected hoodlums at Ayobo in the Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA of Alimosho LGA.
Media reports state that the elderly woman, who was on her way to the market to get some groceries, was almost stripped naked in broad daylight by some suspected hoodlums close to the Ayobo-Ipaja market.
According to her account, the assailants were a group of young men numbering about four, and the incident happened close to her residence in Ipaja. Narrating her ordeal, the woman said she almost had a heart attack when she was hit with several metal objects by the hoodlums and still lives her with pains all over her body, adding that it was her scream for help that attracted passersby who came to her rescue before the assailants sped off in the Toyota Camry vehicle they drove to the scene.
She was, however, rushed to a nearby clinic in the community, from where her relatives later moved her to another Hospital at Ijaiye, Abeokuta, Ogun State, for proper medical attention and also because she had requested to be taken to a medical centre away from the area for intensive treatment and also because of fear the hoodlums may come back.
She added that though she didn’t immediately know the reason for the attack, one of the hoodlums told her it was her son, Titus, that was their target, but that her attack was only a message and that if he ever steps his feet in the town, state, or anywhere in the country, he would pay with his life for exposing one of them to security agencies.
Since her discharge from the state-owned hospital on March 11, 2023, Ogunsanya said she had noticed a strange face in her neighbourhood as she went in and out of her residence, who she later figured was one of her assailants.
Titus Ogunsanya, her son, was a staff of a new generation bank but currently resides in the United States of America.
