How 8-Year-Old Was Defiled By Mum’s Customer in Lagos
An eight-year-old girl in the Fagba area of Lagos identified as Nnena was reportedly defiled by her mother’s customer, Atipo Larry, on a Sunday afternoon, shortly after they returned from church.
The poor girl, who has lost her dad and is being single-handedly raised by her mum, Janet, told Punch that Larry, said to be an ex-convict, who lives outside her mother’s shop, had been doing ‘it’ with her on many occasions but she was too scared to tell anyone.
She recounted:
“It started one afternoon when my mum was not around. I was the only one in the shop. When he came out of the house and saw me sitting in front of the shop, he gave me N50 to help him buy cigarette, pure water and Tom Tom and asked me to come and give him the items in his house.
When I entered the sitting room, he told me not to tell anyone about what he wanted to do and that if I told anyone, he would kill me. He carried me and lay me on the floor, removed my dress and removed his. He lied on top of meand ‘did something.’ I was feeling pains in my body and I tried to shout but he covered my mouth.
When he finished, he picked his cloth and cleaned the blood on my body and on his own body. He then told me to go and warned me not to tell anyone about it. I wanted to shout but he covered my mouth. I left the house crying but there was nobody around.”
She said Larry continued raping and threatening her to keep mum, adding that he would send her on errands anytime her mother was not around, lure her into the house, where he was allegedly squatting, and rape her.
On the day he was caught, she explained that she was with her mum when Larry signalled to her and told her to lie to her mum that she was going to use the toilet, and she did.
She continued:
“When I left where my mum was, he dragged me into his house, carried me and took me to the back of the chair (sofa) and did it on the floor. He covered my mouth so I could not shout. He had just stood up and was about lying on top of me again when my mum came in. I quickly took my gown and ran away. I just want him to die in prison because of what he did to me.”
Her visibly angry mum explained that she was outside her shop washing plates on the Sunday afternoon when her daughter told her she was going to use the restroom. She said:
“I told her to go and that was not the first time she would go to the toilet alone. I waited for her to return, but she didn’t. I went to check the toilet, she wasn’t there. Meanwhile, I had been seeing Larry walking around earlier, so I went inside his house and saw my daughter on the floor, naked. He was also naked but when he saw me, he ran away. It took the intervention of neighbours to track him and we handed him over to the police. I have always told him never to come to my shop again. He owes me some money but I told him to leave it so he could stop coming to my shop. I didn’t know he was doing such with my daughter.”
Larry is currently detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department at Yaba, while investigations continue.
Meanwhile, Nnena’s ordeal has inflicted some infections she might have to battle with for some time.
