Condemnation has trailed the alleged sexual assault of a lady, identified as Izzy, at Eko Hotels, Lagos State.
The victim narrated that she had a horrific experience at the hotel while waiting for an Uber driver.
According to her, a strange man touched her thigh and later punched her for rebuking him over the act.
In a Twitter thread on Thursday, Izzy said, “I was waiting for an Uber in the lobby of Eko Hotels when a stranger walks by, touches my thigh and goes ‘hey wassup’ I\u2019m then enraged telling him that he does not deserve to touch me as we do not know each other.<\/p>\n

“I dismissed him; after telling him thusly, he walks back up to me and punches me in the face because of the weight of my accusations and the truth.
“We scuffled and he left! I filed a complaint and practically beg for the CCTV footage from the incident! All in all, this world is shit #ekohotels #lagos #nigeria. Well if you see me clocked out you\u2019ll know it\u2019s because I can\u2019t deal anymore.”
When contacted on the telephone, an official of the hotel said the incident would be investigated. <\/p>\n

    Chinny-San @kilonpop said, “A scuffle happened and Eko Hotel security and staff let him leave!!! Goodness! This just sank in. Heartbroken!”
    Dr A.K @Drwisephool said, “This is absolutely pitiable and heart-aching, it troubles my heart that a woman has to experience this type of assault and battery unprovoked.
    “It shouldn’t be let to slide, otherwise the assailant would likely continue in this vein of action against other women.
    “May I suggest you report to the most appropriate authority to handle this case, with such authority, the CCTV record tape can be recovered and the assailant identified and at least gets to be placed on the search for apprehension. This breaks my heart badly!”<\/p>\n
