How 61-Year-Old Security Man Groomed & Raped Two Underage Sisters in Lagos

A 61-year-old security man in the Anthony area of Lagos is now at large and wanted by the police after allegedly raping two sisters aged 10 and 11 for several weeks. The man identified as John reportedly bribed the sisters with N200 after each rape, warning that he would kill them if they told their mum.

The ugly secret was however uncovered on August 30, when the girls started to complain about back pain and headache. Their mum probed and the girls opened up. The case was then reported at the Anthony Police Division, however, John could not be arrested as he fled his rented apartment that day.

Recounting the sad incident, the girls’ mum, Rosemary Peter, told Punch:

“I work as a food seller. John was one of my customers. He would say I should send a take-away pack to him at his workplace by afternoon. So, when the girls returned from school, I would send the two of them to take the food to him. I did not suspect that he was raping them.

When they took the food to him, he would take them to a place and rape both of them. After satisfying himself, he would give them N200, and warn them not to say anything at home. He would threaten that he would harm them if they spoke up. Eventually, the two of them started to complain about headache and back pain. I was worried. On one occasion, I happened to be where the 11-year-old was taking her bath, and I observed that her private parts were slack as an adult’s. I was shocked, and I urged her to tell me what went wrong.

That was when she opened up that it was John who had been sleeping with her and her sister. I rushed to the police station to make a report, but news had got to John that the girls had let out the matter, and he fled the area on the same day.

A neighbour, Fatai Gafar, noted that the girls were yet to receive any medical care following the unfortunate incident.
