“How I Was Repeatedly Raped By Baba Ijebu, Uncle Kingsley and Henry.” 13-Year-Old Girl Narrates Ordeal

A 13-year-old has narrated how a 60-year-old man and two others allegedly raped her repeatedly whenever her mother went for vigil.

Vanguard gathered that the teenager, Ijeoma, who resides in the Majidun area of Lagos state is 3 months pregnant. The primary 6 pupil disclosed how a shameless 60-year-old man called Baba Ijebu, and two others – Kingsley and Henry, allegedly raped her repeatedly, adding that she was charmed.

“The first time was with Uncle Kingsley. That night I was passing in front of his room, when he said he wanted to send me on an errand. Immediately I entered his room, he closed the door and when I asked him why he did that, he carried me to his bed and slept with me.

“The second man is Baba Ijebu. I went to his place to collect one of the things we used to make soap. When I got inside, he touched me with something in his hand and I did not know what happened until I found myself in his bed with my pants off, while he was beside me.

“Immediately I realized this, I cried and shouted, but he said I would die if I told anyone. The third man’s name is Henry. In his case, he called me into his room and said that my mummy sent him to me. But when I got to him, he pinned me to his bed and raped me.

“I shouted, but nobody was there to help me. I couldn’t tell my mummy because I was afraid she would kill me,”Ijeoma lamented, noting that a neighbour, who discovered the ongoing abuse, advised her to tell her mother but she declined on grounds that her mother would kill her.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the victim’s mother narrated:

“I became suspicious after I noticed some changes in my daughter and when taken to the hospital, she was discovered to be three months pregnant.

“She was raped consistently by these three persons. From what I gathered, they usually slept with her when went for vigil and at the end, they would give her N100 or N200.

“The suspects were arrested by policemen at Owutu Division, but released. Now they are threatening me for reporting to the police. Kingsley and Henry live in the same compound with us, while Baba Ijebu lives at the opposite compound.
