Drama as lady drags Lagos-based Irish lover before police for infecting her with HIV
Tears streamed down the face of 31-year-old Blessing (not real name) as she narrated how her whirlwind romance with a 67-year-old Irish construction worker in Lagos, ended in her getting infected with HIV.
For Blessing, her pain was not just because she had got the virus but that the man, she identified simply as Jim, even intensified his sexual intercourse with her after he learnt of his status more than two years ago.
Blessing walked into the Area F Police Command, Ikeja on Thursday, inconsolable to report Jim’s alleged action.
