Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) has denied a claim that it demanded that charges be dropped against a dispatch rider who reportedly raped an 18-year-old girl before she is offered post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) treatment.
“At no point did any of our staff approach the woman to drop charges against the alleged rapist,” LUTH Management said in a statement.
“LUTH as a hospital has a well-documented policy on handling and supporting cases of rape, and we have handled many of such cases in the past.” (Guardian)
