According to Stella Dimokoko, It was a normal day for the family in the evening of Tuesday 14th January And the mother asked her last child, her daughter, to get ugwu and efinrin leaves from the bus stop to their house in Cement area of Lagos. Had she known that they weren't going to eventually eat the meal that night, she wouldn't have sent her on that errand but God knows best.
On the daughter's way back home after getting the leaves, a guy walked up to her, rapping her up that he liked her and all sorts. She called his buff and continued walking home. He snatched the leaves from her, and the money (change) she was holding. She chased him to get her things from him. If she had known she was running into a trap, she wouldn't have chased him.
On entering his compound, he dragged her into the room and locked the door with his counterpart inside. Making two guys. They beat her up, stripped her, assaulted her, raped her vaginally, anally and orally. After ejaculating, he asked her to continue sucking his penis till he rises again. For every noise she made and attempted to make, she got a punch, she got several beatings.
The second guy too was beating her waiting for his turn. They were both threatening her that they would do this, get away with it, kill her and all sorts because she has nobody to stand for her and get justice.
All the while this was going on, her mother had started looking for her knowing her youngest daughter will never keep this late just going to the bus stop. After asking almost everyone she saw on the road she was looking for her daughter and crying, she eventually saw someone that told her they saw a girl running after a guy into a house.
She ran immediately to the house. Went inside banging the door for a while before it was opened. Immediately the door opened, her daughter ran out nakid, even ran past her shouting 'mummy mi, egba mi, won ti fe pa mi'. Saying she's dead, her privates are paining her. Her elder sister wrapped the scarve on her head round the girl's body. They went to the police post nearest to their house from there.
Now, the 'stupid' police officers were dragging matters as usual. It took boys from the neighbourhood to get them up and go and arrest the culprit around 2am in the morning of Wednesday. The biys were going to lynch him but thanks to wise people amongst them and tge police.
The guy said she has and knows no one. We are going to prove him wrong because she knows 'us' all!
Stella, I am soooooooo pained.
This is where I will come in. I stay in the estate the mother sells pepper for a living. She doesn't live there. I'm her very good customer and i've taken her kids as my siblings. I like them so much and the feeling is mutual. I got the call on Wednesday morning on my way to work. Called my husband and asked him to please follow up especially with the help of transferring the guy to a proper police station which in this case is shasha police station.
He took it up, told everyone, we told the neighbours and everyone is now involved. Thank God we have made a head way and God help us to the end.
The guy @iamalub is my neighbour. He and my husband are more twitter savvy hence helping with awareness on twitter. I don't really do twitter.
It's so sad, this particular girl is easy going, quiet and hardly relates with people until she studies you and feels safe with you. Before she became my friend and started playing with me too ehn, na war. Her elder sisters are my pallies. She's just 14 years old.
She's done tests in general hospital and other necessary things. The mad man is being transferred to Panti station, State Criminal Investigation Department now.
Please is there any contact you can help with probably at the women's affairs ministry, or office of the public defender, or a body that handles child rape. Anything you can help with please.
God bless you as you help.
Concerned friend of the family,
