He said it was our landlord. We went to meet the landlord but met his mother in her shop and asked why her son did that.She said someone came around that was why they put it there and I told the woman I was not aware. Immediately, the woman stood up and started insulting me. The next thing she did was to slap me and start beating me. She hit me on the spot where I did my surgery, she said.LASU final-year student narrates harrowing night We went inside the house and locked the door and all the windows. She started hitting our door and banging at our window. She called me all sorts of names.People that didnt know what was happening came and started hitting my door, banging at my window. At about 10:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., her sons were back, they started banging at my door, trying to melt my iron door to break into the house.What if we had died overnight? What if someone had entered through the window to kill us? What would have happened? Or what if somebody had tried to set fire to set us ablaze? We wouldnt have been able to escape because we were locked inside. They put off the light and water.She slapped my mother. The matter is in court and we have been ordered not to comment until the second hearing. Even when the school management came around and we told them the beginning of the issue, they backed out. I didnt touch her; she slapped an elderly 70-year-old woman. It is not true that her life is being threatened. I was locked up in the station for five days, he said.Police exhume body of murdered LASU student
