On May 5 2011, 22yr old 100 level Economics student of Federal University of Technology, Yola, Adamawa State, Franca Ogbu, was bathed with acid and permanently disfigured by people who are yet to be fully identified. There are two or more versions of what actually happened to Franca. Some students in the school claim that Franca was in a relationship with a lecturer in the school and the man's wife sent thugs to bath her with acid. The school authority is claiming that another male student of the school whom she rejected romantically arranged with some of his friends to disfigure the once pretty girl. Six student of the school have since been expelled. You can read more of the story

Please continue reading...but viewer's discretion is advised. There's a disturbing pic when you continue...
Franca now desperately needs N12 million for surgery at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital where she has been lying for over six months. So sad! Please say a prayer for Franca...

It shall not be well with whoever inflicted this on her. What was her offence that warrant this? I doubt there's any surgery that can restore her normal look. Some people are just wicked. I pray that God in His infinite mercy will do the impossible in her life.
Some pple r very wicked. This is as good as killing the girl. how cruel!
GOD will judge whoever did this to this girl.
Makes my heart bleed.
They should pour acid on the attackers is what I will say in my current state of anger. Haba
You cant tie any human being to love you neither can you create a single hair in another human being, why this kind of burns....grrr. and in Naija for that matter
I wrote a blog about this, the lady is getting her face back and even running an NGO about this sort of toxic relationships...but then again its in the UK where medical aid/help are available http://efemenaoreoluwa.blogspot.com/2011/09/toxic-challenges-in-this-instance_2313.html
This is definitely the epitome of man's inhumanity to man
But why are people so evil and despicable? This inhumanity. Praying for her, hopefully the perpetrators are brought to book.
Jesus christ!this is d height of wickedness,omg,smh
this is treble in this our generation such a thing is still happening
Saw this story she rejected some dude and he sent his friends to carry out this dispicable act..so 9ja never stop all this acid thing after all this years..to reject man in 9ja is a crime o!!..gosh the ego sef!!..Linda what can we do...verifiable donor sites please..
i hope her attacker was caught? Nigeria is turning into sth else and its mostly the women paying for it. God help women in nigeria, AMEN!

May Gd help her..this is wickedness
U SEE I'M SURE GAYS CANNOT DO THESE ...IT IS THAT STRAIGHT GUYS THAT U PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THAT DID IT ...EYIN ODE.
NO BASHING ...
Linda please add my BB pin lemme follow u on my BB too. 312AD095. Life is also about people like you. When I make $ I spend it too as you do and life goes on.
linda... i think you should post the story about the guy who was accused too. people need to know him. the injustice was rather unfair. and they messed uo his life as well.
My ex-fiance knowingly infected me with HIV so i will have no choice but marry him.This after i had spent a fortune trying to set him up in business and generally planning a future for us.He planned to relocate to Nigeria after a long hiatus in Europe.Tell me does such a man not deserve such a fate?cos this is exactly what i plan to do to him!!Maybe Linda will be the first to post it and havbe exclusive rights to my story.
sad, all the stories include men.
Read the full story on vanguard's site and though i sympathize greatly with the girl, i also feel that the people who have been labelled the culprits are innocent. The girl knows more than she is letting on and it doesnt seem fair. I hope she clears the air and helps to bring the ACTUAL culprit to book.
God help her.
The good God who safe Jacob will also safe you Franca. I feel so sorry for her.
@ Annon 7;40 u are d one that is confusing urself maybe u have a visual problem if that's d case go and get yourself a medicated eye glass, Linda said the girl has been lying in d hospital for over 6months and not 1year. Now start counting from 5th May till November 23 it gives 6months and 18 days. Linda how can one help her u did not give any acc number
Beatrice, that'll be a VERY WRONG MOVE & our Creator will NOT BE HAPPY should you go ahead with that plan.
Don't fight this battle; let HIM fight it for you.
The bible is complete......it says "the heart of man is desperately wicked and full of evil,,who can know it???"
Whatever the reason is...it should not have got to this level....my heart bleeds for her,,,i dont know what kind of corrective surgery that can restore her......it is well oooo
some people are very wicked, can just see how they spoil someone beauty in d name of making love or watever , God we surely open whoever do this, it really Bad ,wickedness, o gaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Think our legal system is faulty. We have access to all the technology the world yet we can't use any of these to solve a simple crime case. Imagine in the developed world, they would have gone through the database of the conversations that might have happened between Franca and the porported lecturer and may be a link would have been found between them. Moreso, isn't it obvious to everyone, a girl is dating a Chemistry department lecturer and acid was pured on her. Can we see a link there?
WTF! If this girl was my friend, I'd make sure i find her assailants & give 'em a dose of 'eir wickedness. Jeez!
@7.40pm u no dey see well?she said lying in the hospital for over 6 months not a year.Abeg dey read well before u dey yarn rubbish o.
whoever did ds has finished ds chiq. no matter d surgery she can never be restored back to her original beautiful self.
but no matter her crime..it shouldnt have been an acid bath. if it was d lecturer's wife that did ds, has she not dated someone's husband before???truthfully!
if it was a male student she rejected, are there not other girls???
ds is just so sad
I just pray that if these young men did not do this, since this fella's case, as he stated it, sounds pretty convincing, they will release them. This young lady should know who must have done this and I really hope that she is being totally honest. I hope that she is not at this point trying to protect anyone or worse trying to salvage and spare her own image, thinking that if people knew she was dating a married man, there would be no sympathy for her situation and thus, no help. If that is the case, I want her to know that although many people will think her involvement with a married man a bad thing, I don't believe that they will agree with this type of retribution. However you look at it, whatever the case, it is a horrible thing to put someone through. I really hope a woman could not do this to another woman for such a stupid reason, because if her man is a philanderer, if he is inclined to cheat, she will have to stockpile on acid, if this is the way she chooses to deal with it.
This crime, just like rape, is constantly being ignored and overlooked in Nigeria. We need to insist on the death sentence for perpetrators of these sorts of crimes. This really sick!
God please shower your healing mercies on this poor girl.
Ladies stop jumping into relationships with mentally unstable men. take your time to study a guy before you commit to him.
