According to reports, after the whole battery, Victor locked Faith up for two days, making it impossible for her to call any family member or friend in order to seek medical attention.When she was eventually allowed to seek medical attention, she used a doctor’s phone to call her sister who is with the Lagos State Domestic and S*xual Violence Response Team, who have since taken up the case.Victor was however arrested and he appeared at the Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court last week where he was granted bail and case postponed till end of January.
