Family pictures have been obtained, of the foreigner, George Soare, who was arrested and has been arraigned and remanded in prison for mobilizing soldiers to beat a lady identified as Diva, in Lagos.
Now new details have emerged, of what actually happened. It was gathered that Diva wasn’t even the person that had a misunderstanding with Soare’s Nigerian wife at their No 5, Falilat shomade street, Lekki home, on Wednesday, May 1, 2019.
It was revealed that the misunderstanding was between the wife and a neighbor who Diva was visiting. According to other neighbors, Soare’s wife was fond of pouring water on them anytime there was a dispute and the lady only reacted that day, having had enough.
However, the man was said to have brought in four soldiers and ordered them to flog the neighbor, but since they couldn’t find her, they descended on her visitor, Diva.
The victim was later whisked away and warned against reporting the incident if she doesn’t want to the shot. Meanwhile, the neighbors that witnessed the inhumane treatment rushed Diva to the hospital and got the police involved.
Soare appeared in court on Thursday and was remanded in Ikoyi Prison pending when Diva would fully recover. The government and some NGOs are said to have taken over the case to ensure justice.
