Nyiransabimana Vestine 36 has spent Four Months undergoing treatment at CHUK hospital at bed number 44. A Man poured Acid on her face because she refused to get married to him.
She is seeking help estimated at Frw 7million to enable her receive enhanced medical treatment outside Rwanda preferably in India.
Nyiransabimana says was attacked with acid 11 January by Twizeyimana Ephrem. Nyiransabimana explained that she was attacked after she refused a marriage proposal from Twizeyimana.
She refused to marry Twizeyimana because she was in love with another man with whom they were planning to wed on 12 February 2012.
Nyiransabimana told IGIHE that she is a mother of two children. She studied at Kigali Health Institute KHI. She had been legally married before but later divorced but court ruled that she keeps custody of the two children.
After her divorce, She entered a civil marriage with another man on 29 December 2011.
On 12 February 2012, the two were slated to wed in church and had already issued invitation cards to friends, relatives, and in-laws to attend the church wedding.
However, after noticing distribution of Invitation cards, Twizeyimana started asking Nyiransabimana why she turned down his marriage proposal, “ so you refused me because iam poor? Do not be fooled by your beauty. I can disorganize it”.
January 11 2012, Twizeyimana went to Nyiransabimana’s home at about 7PM, he requested her to help her top up Tigo phone credit. He also asked her to get out of the livingroom because he needed to make a phone call from outside where it was calm.
Nyiransabimana agreed to get out of the house and later as she was toping up phone credit on the phone, Twizeyimana poured Acid on her face. The acid was in a cup which Nyiransabimana didn’t not suspect contained a dangerous substance.
Twizeyimana immediately told her, “Now go and beg and experience how it feels to be poor”. Since then his whereabouts aren’t known.
However, rumours had it that Twizeyimana had paid tution fees for Nyiransabimana to study at the Kigali Health Institute probably with a dream that they would thereafter get married.
Nyiransabimana denies the rumours saying, “that’s a naked lie. I studied by the help of government loan. I knew Twizeyimana after completing my studies.”
The effect of Acid attack on her body is unbelievable. Her chest is destroyed. it necessitated doctors to remove flesh from her other parts of the body and graft it on her chest.
She is currently bandaged all over the body and one might not notice her.
The visiting Indian doctors recently met her at her hospital bed…they told her her situation can be delt with successfully in India if she can afford to raise funds equivalent to Frw 7Million.
However, Nyiransabimana says she cant afford this amount of money.she thus requests help from good Samaritans so that she can seek further treatment abroad after which she can be able to raise her children.
Nyiransabimana can be reached on her cell phones 250 788511830 or 250728511830. She requests any financial help to be deposited on her account at the Bank Populaire: A/C 403107659011.
