Cultist allegedly breaks student's spine for refusing to give him her phone number

A student at a Nigerian university has allegedly been left unable to walk after a cultist brutally attacked her, broke her spine for refusing to give him her phone number.

The incident was revealed in a post shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by a user identified as @VivianRora, who claimed the victim is her cousin.
According to her, the student declined to share her phone number with a cultist, which led to the violent assault that resulted in a spinal injury.
The victim, she said, has been unable to stand or walk since the attack.
Her statement reads in part:
"My cousin, a student of a Nigerian institution, was brutally attacked by cultists. They broke her spine, and since that day, she hasn't been able to stand."
"Her life changed forever. And all this happened because she refused to give them her number. I detest cultism and cultists!"
Following the post, many concerned individuals flooded the comment section to express shock and condemnation over the brutal act.
@Victor_Gameboy: "Still has nothing to do with poor parenting. Don't blame the parents for the sins of the children. One day, you'll have kids."
@Sassiepresh: "I've had my fair share of attack and harassment from cultist. I hate them."
@murkiiis: "They collect a lot of number everyday just to show authority amount themselves, they might have not even texted her. As a lady just give them and don't give them a wrong one."
@AlliOlabisi5: "Anyone that attended Ogun Poly or lived in Abeokuta btw 1993-1998 can attest to this. Students were gunned down, macheted because of cultism. At Safari Junction, a lady's womb/intestines were pulled out from her jajaina with a hanger just because she refused to date one of them."
@Princes51013171: "This might come off the wrong way to some people, but honestly, she could've just given them the number. Not because they deserved it but because sometimes, wisdom means choosing your battles carefully, especially in this kind of lawless environment. Give them the number, then."
@tha_girrl: "I have a friend that when you walk up to her to start yeye small talk, she'll just ask if u want her number, give it to u and end the conversation there, na who go reply remain. Cus men can be really scary sometimes tbh."
