Doctors finally amputate Leg of lady crushed by Patience Jonathan’s cousin

Doctors have amputated the left leg of Seigha Atia, an ex-lover of Mr. Victor Oba, a cousin to a former First Lady, Patience Jonathan.

Oba, who is the Manager of the First Lady’s hotel, Aridolf Hotels and Spars, reportedly hit Atia, his 23-year-old ex-lover with his Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), damaging her left leg beyond treatment.

Oba was said to have left the girl for dead and zoomed off after engaging in the violent act.

Though the Police in Bayelsa later arrested Oba for attempted murder, it was gathered that the influential cousin of Patience Jonathan had been set free with the police expressing unwillingness to prosecute the matter.

Following the worsening condition of her leg, Atia was reportedly rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt, where doctors, who battled to save her life amputated her leg.

But the police authority in the state was said to be disposed to a settlement between the families of Patience Jonathan and Atia.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Asinim Butswat, said he was not aware of such negotiations adding that a case file of attempted murder had been opened on the matter.

A lawyer to the victim, Aluzu Ebikebuna, confirmed the amputation of his client’s leg describing the situation as unfortunate.
