Owerri Man Allegedly Pushes Girlfriend’s Sister from Storey Building Over Rejected Sexual Advances

A disturbing incident in Owerri has sparked outrage after a young woman was reportedly thrown from a storey building for allegedly rejecting her sister’s boyfriend’s sexual advances.

A young man has reportedly been arrested in Owerri, Imo State, for allegedly pushing his girlfriend’s sister from a storey building after she reportedly rejected his sexual advances.

The incident, which reportedly occurred on Sunday, November 1, at Mbonu Ejike in Owerri, has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault.

According to accounts circulating online, the victim had allegedly been left in the care of her sister’s boyfriend while her sister was away.

A woman who claimed to live in the neighbourhood alleged in a circulating voice note that the suspect made sexual advances towards the young woman but became violent after she rejected his demands.

The suspect was subsequently accused of pushing her from the building.

Videos circulating on social media show a person lying motionless on the ground, while another footage captures police officers taking a man believed to be the suspect into custody.

Some accounts also alleged that angry residents apprehended the suspect before handing him over to the police. Officers reportedly intervened to prevent community members from lynching him.

The incident has continued to generate reactions online, with many expressing concern over the safety of young women and demanding that the appropriate authorities thoroughly investigate the allegation and ensure justice if the claims are established.

Further details are expected as the police provide official information.
