KUDURU, BWARI, ABUJA — A woman has reportedly been left critically injured after she was allegedly beaten and thrown into a concrete drainage gutter by a young man identified as David Burno in Kuduru, Bwari Area Council, Abuja.
The incident reportedly occurred on Monday evening around the Glass House area, with eyewitnesses alleging that the woman sustained serious injuries to her head, mouth and leg during the assault.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to BwariTimes, Burno allegedly beat the woman before throwing her into a gutter, causing her to hit her head against the concrete.
Dispute over girlfriend allegedly triggered attack
Preliminary information gathered by BwariTimes indicates that the incident may have stemmed from a disagreement involving Burno’s girlfriend, identified as Stephanie, and the injured woman.
A source alleged that Burno had previously warned Stephanie to stay away from the woman. He reportedly became angry after allegedly seeing the two women together on Monday, resulting in the confrontation and subsequent assault.
