“At no point did any of our staff approach the woman to drop charges against the alleged rapist,” LUTH Management said in a statement.
“This is the story of my staff and right now the dispatcher has absconded, we’ve been meeting dead ends everywhere and even LUTH said that they can’t administer PEP medication because we are pressing charges! They want us to drop the charges before she can be treated,” Bukola said in the tweet that trended.
The hospital acknowledged that “on the 4th of June 2020 at about 6pm, a middle-aged woman came to the Accident and Emergency that her sales girl was reportedly raped by a dispatch rider who had come to deliver items to her shop.” On reporting the incident, LUTH said the medical officer in Triage unit of the NE then proceeded to discuss the case with the Senior Registrar on duty in Obstetrics and Gynaecology section in Bukola’s presence.
