A lady has recounted how she was punched in the face by a man after she cautioned him against touching her inappropriately at the highbrow Eko Hotels, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The lady who identified herself as Izzy on Twitter said she was at the hotel lobby waiting for a ride hailing service when a strange man walked up to her and touched her thigh.
She said she protested the action and told off the man. According to her, the man who was walking away returned and punched her in the face.
In a video clip the lady shared after the incident, she was crying and her left eyebrow was swollen.
She said her parents were around.
Izzy wrote, “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’m then enraged telling him that he does not deserve to touch me as we do not know each other.
“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’ll know it’s because I can’t deal anymore.”
An official of the hotel told the Punch he was not aware of the incident, but would investigate it and revert.
