There was confusion among Nigerians on social media as a severely malnourished naked woman, who was reportedly thrown out of a moving car, was seen roaming the street of Ajah in Lagos State.
According to reports, the severely malnourished naked woman was thrown out of a moving car around Jubilee Bridge in Ajah on Wednesday evening.

Some eyewitnesses said the woman wasn’t looking this ‘much’ emaciated when she was dropped. She allegedly “dried up in a few minutes” after getting dropped by the car which they claimed is owned by ritualists.
Despite a large crowd of passersby who surrounded the scene, no one offered to help the naked woman who had several wounds on her body. Instead, they were taking pictures and making videos of her, while hurling insults and stones at her.
It breaks my heart that we’re such a superstitious & judgemental people.
Not a single soul in this crowd thought it necessary to help this lady in Ajah.
But I guarantee that they will dance to the altar on Sunday & hit their heads on the concrete on Friday.We’ve lost the plot. pic.twitter.com/wdhx2jUzQf

The naked lady continued to roam the streets of Ajah, until she was picked up by her friend who saw the gist on social media. The friend came with a gown, covered her and took her away amidst tears.
A social media influencer known as Buchi, disclosed that her name is Ene and she is HIV positive.
Buchi further revealed that his friend took the said lady to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), but that there’s a delay in treating her, urging well-meaning Nigerians to come to her aid.
Pls help. This is Ene. She is HIV positive. If you stay in Ajah, you’ll see her naked with people throwing stones and hurling insults at her. My friend rushed her to took her from the road to LUTH, trying to get her medical care. LUTH is delaying. Pls retweet. We need to save her pic.twitter.com/d9DRC70jiD

The lady in the video, Ene, confirmed to my friend that she was dropped at Ajah by some1 who wanted to help her. She didn’t shrink nothing. She isn’t a run girls and even if she was? God will punish y’all who spread cold news. A lot of Nigerians are EVIL.

Her plight triggered a debate online among Nigerian over the public’s outlook towards the downtrodden and others in need.
This Young girl was thrown out of a moving car at Ajah. Typical of Nigerians they have passed judgment on her because she’s got Tattoo, while some think she has Aids or was used by Yahoo boys used her. No one can help her because they are all scared due to superstitious beliefs. pic.twitter.com/6UUguSh3PR

The Ajah lady incident, why is everyone assuming she was used by yahoo guys? Not ruling that out completely, but why is no one thinking in the direction that she may have been kidnapped for a very long time and was starved in the process? Those images are really disturbing.

The fact that people brought out their phones to make videos of that lady at ajah, the fact that nobody even brought her as little as a wrapper to cover up or even food to eat , shows how much we’ve lost our humanity.

That Ajah lady could be anorexic or suffering from any of the myriad medical conditions.
Yahoo Yahoo is all you’ll hear. What a dangerouly superstitious mob.
The Govt ‘ll refuse you Amenities & shit on you.
The Country the people ‘ll shit on you.Just don’t be a victim.

It’s funny how some of you assumed the lady dropped at Ajah bus stop is a prostitute, because she had tattoo on her body. what if she was a victim of kidnappers?. We are saying not all guys with dread & laptop is a yahoo boy, but a girl with tattoo is a prostitute to you. Madness

A Sensible society would have
1. Covered up this lady
2. Take her to a nearest hospital
3. Alert security agencies to pull up missing persons file or something.
4. It’s Ajah, that car wouldn’t have gone far with all the traffic in that area.Well like isaid “sensible society”? pic.twitter.com/omUX6hWW6e
