A
27 -year -old woman known as Sandra has been arrested by the police in
Lagos for battering her Indian lover. The Indian , simply identified as
Jagan , 23 , wept as he fielded questions from detectives attached to
the Domestic Violence Unit of the Festac Police Station .
The Indian lover boy who
was weeping bitterly while answering questions from the police
operatives, according to witnesses, had a plastered elbow, blackened
right eye and was visibly limping, all testimony to what he said he has
been going through in the hands of his lover, including sending a
commercial motorcyclist to hit him.
Jagan who said he had
already done the traditional marriage introduction with Sandra and the
proper wedding fixed to this year, reported her to the police on
February 27, 2016, for battery and threat to life.
Though the police
promised to charge the case to court, Jagan said he was not interested
in going to court as he was leaving Nigeria back to his country for
good.
“I now understand everything. Sandra has gotten all she wants from me. I’m broke. She doesn’t want me anymore, ” Jagan lamented.
The hurt Indian man said
he met Sandra at the Trade Fair International Market where she is a
trader and they started dating, while he was working with an Indian
company back then.
Soon after, the lovers
started discussing marriage and according to him, he rented an apartment
for her and handed over his Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), card to
her, as proof of his love.
One day, he received a
letter from his company transferring him to Kano State but due to fears
of the Boko Haram, Sandra discouraged him from moving to the northern
state.
“I refused the
transfer because I wanted to be with her. I resigned and started my own
business. I rented a bedroom apartment for her. I travelled to Indian
and came back. I had nobody, but her. But she goes out and returns late
at night.
She was endangering
my life. I don’t want to say about what I suspected she was doing. But
when I got information that she was in a hotel, I went there to confirm
things for myself. And I saw her. I went to the hotel to confirm what I
had been hearing. It was true.
I slapped her neck.
My finger injured her. I didn’t try to strangle her. She was toying with
my life. Today, I regret leaving my company because of her.”
After Jagan returned
from Indian, he moved in with Sandra. It was while living with her that
he discovered she was a lady of the night and he did not like it and
tried to stop her from that lifestyle.
When Jagan got to that
part of the story, he started weeping again. Sandra, who glanced at him
with scorn, said that when Jagan came into the hotel room, he sat by her
bed, knelt down by her side and started crying.
The remorseless Sandra took over the story, accusing Jagan of being too jealous and possessive.
“He said I should be
like Indian women. But I don’t want to be like Indian women. He wants
me to be covering myself, I can’t. Whenever I speak with anybody, he
gets angry. I can’t live that way!”
The apartment they lived
was rented in Sandra’s name and during one of their fights, Sandra
allegedly threw Jagan’s things out and he moved into a hotel and since
he could no longer concentrate on his business, it started to crumble.
Just when Jagan was getting his life straightened out, he received a cry
for help text message from Sandra.
He said:
“Sandra said she was sick. She said if she didn’t see me, she would die. I ran to see her.”
But that reunion did not last as the lovers started fighting again, with Sandra accusing Jagan of stealing her Ipad.
“A few days later, I
went to the same hotel to have a drink when Sandra ran out, armed with
bottle and attacked me. She tore my clothes. She held and started
dragging me. She wanted to kill me. I called the police. I later noticed
a guy following me.
I don’t have anybody
in Nigeria. If I die here, I’ll die for nothing. The guy caused my
accident. He used a motorbike to knock into the one I hired. I and my
motorbike rider fell. I almost died.
She only wanted my money and now that she has drained me, she says she does not want me again.”
But Sandra, on her part, said as far as she is concerned, the relationship is dead.
“He called police
for me because I told him that I didn’t want the relationship anymore.
When I told him it was over, Jagan traced me to the hotel where I had
gone to lodge. He came into the hotel, sat on the bed and started
crying.
He grabbed my neck
and tried to strangle me. I struggled with him. He wanted to kill me. I
screamed. People came to save me. We’re supposed to go for court
wedding, but I don’t want him anymore. We started dating a year ago.
He’s too jealous. He said I shouldn’t speak with anyone, including
women.”
