The management of the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital (LUTH) has denied not treating on purpose an 18 year-old sales girl, who was on Thursday raped by a dispatch rider. A twitter user @youdiee, who claimed to be the owner of the store where the rape incident took place had accused the hospital of neglecting the victim. LUTH management in a statement on Saturday said that there was never any issue like appealing to the woman to drop charges against the suspect before she would be attended to. The hospital said “LUTH management’s attention has been brought to a piece of news on twitter about an 18 year-old girl who was brought to LUTH by her boss on account of being raped. “She accepted the slip and then left the O&G consulting room, while the doctors returned to their duties,” the teaching hospital also said.
