Twenty-six-year-old Grace Smith who was brutalised along with her husband, Ejeh, and left with horrific injuries last week Wednesday after a beating by Dada Ogunsanya, a policeman attached to the Ikoyi Police Division, Lagos, has got a frightening news.
“We have been looking forward to a child since we got married more than a year ago. I had no idea I was already pregnant at the time of the beating. Now I may lose it,” she said.
When our correspondent spoke with her on Wednesday, Grace explained that she was still bleeding and had to resort to the use of sanitary pad. She had gone for further treatment at a private hospital on Tuesday when a routine check revealed that she was indeed pregnant. Grace sighed and explained that she could not even imagine losing such a bundle of joy. She said:
“My problem now is not about the injuries I sustained but the fear that I may lose my baby. How can anybody compensate me for that? The doctors said they are monitoring my condition for now.”
“I realised that I had been bleeding since the day of the incident. I thought it was a normal menstrual flow. I was shocked when they told me that I was pregnant. My doctor said the bleeding is a big problem as the foetus may be harmed.”
