Nigerian Medical Doctor Allegedly Dies In Domestic Violence Situation
A Consultant Paediatric Surgeon with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi Araba, Dr Hestianna Thomas has been killed, allegedly in a case of domestic violence.
According to The Nation, the mum of two whose husband is a Consultant Clinical Pathologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, was brought to LUTH in a battered state three days after she had last reported for duty.
The incident was discussed by workers in hushed tones as the brilliant doctor was described by some women as a compassionate doctor who helped saved their children’s lives.
A source revealed: “A close examination of her body revealed a lot of lacerations. In fact, I noticed that the head had a deep cut. When other colleagues also saw her, they said there was a deep cut on her skull, because they saw pierced bone. Her colleagues, especially the female doctors, were stunned when Dr Thomas was rushed in.”
This is really sad. I was in shock when I read the story. God save our women.
This is heartbreaking. God rest her soul. Amen.
OMG!!! I’m sure she endured all that for the sake of her children without thinking of what will become of them if she is killed.This is so pathetic

God please come to women’s aid ooooo! This is too much.
Never stay in an abusive relationship ooo
Just imagine what that beast must have done to the deceased b4 she passed. I keep saying this “no woman should stay in an abusive home” bcos one day death will come in the process of beating. This is sad. Vry sad indeed.
A loss to the nation and family. Sad. Wife battery is bad.
most women will stay in an abusive relationship cos of the fear of loosing their kids. the Nigerian legal system is the cause of this. It is very difficult for a woman to leave cos of d fear of loosing their kids.
Very heartbreaking I must say. If only She was brave enough to take a long walk away from that beast of a husband. *sighs* RIP Dr.

My question is – where is the man who was involved in all of this? Where was the lady’s family when this was happening? Yes the lady is gone, so what next???? No justice???
May her soul rest in perfect peace Amen
