Fight between two sisters in Delta state leaves one blind with doctors pulling a hair extension out of her face (Graphic Photos)

By



A 37-year-old woman has been left blind in one eye after she was stabbed in the face with a shard of glass with doctors removing a plaited hair extension stuck in her eye socket after a fight with her sister. 

According to Daily Mail, the lady whose identity wasn't revealed was rushed to Delta State University Teaching Hospital where she was given local anaesthetic before surgeons pulled out the shard which had left her unable to see, then stitched up the cuts on her eyelids.



Before she was operated Doctors said she was in an 'anxious state' because of the gaping wound in her cheek.

Dr. Mabel Okiemute Etetafia of Delta State University reported the woman's predicament in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

According to her, the woman's right eye was producing excessive amounts of fluid and intensely red, the report said, but her eyeball was mostly intact. However, she suffered 'irreversible' damage to her cornea – the front of her eye – leaving it blinded and useless.

The section of hair believed to have been sliced off the woman's weave during the attack were sticking out of a diagonal slash beneath her eye.


'The cause of the retention of the woven artificial hair on the face was not initially clear,' Dr Etetafia wrote.

Dr Mabel also revealed that the woman's hair was hanging in front of her face and the plait became caught on the end of the glass during the stabbing.

She said it was driven into the flesh beneath her eye and pinned there by a piece of glass which broke off.

'Although the patient had similar strands on her hair the flexible nature of the strands further posed a challenge to the cause of the retention.

'The mechanism that introduced the woven artificial hair strands ... is not clear but it is most likely that the hair was on the path of penetration of the broken glass at the time of the stab injury.'

Injuries of this kind can be life-threatening, Dr Etetafia added, because they are so close to vital body parts like blood vessels and the brain.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
