A 15-year-old lady and a daughter to a woman who runs a canteen at Iyanna Ipaja, is still under the traumatic experience she had when she was allegedly raped by a commercial tricycle rider, known as Mr Lati Ajoje, According to PUNCH.
The victim said Ajoje was her mother's frequently customer and she knew him even before the incident.
The teenager who claims she was still a virgin before the driver took advantage of her, bitterly narrated her story.
In her words:
"I didn't suspect anything. I even thanked him as I boarded his keke (tricycle). When we got to the bus stop, he turned and faced another route. I asked him if he wasn't going to my mum's shop again. He didn't answer me. I told him to stop me at the bus stop but he refused.
"He then told me to be patient and said he only wanted to go and collect something at Water Estate. I insisted I wanted to drop off. He didn't listen to me, he ignored me. He got to where he was going and he stopped at an uncompleted building and told me to get down. I asked him why, he said he wanted to tell me something. I told him I didn't like the place he brought me and I was already feeling uncomfortable. He just carried me forcibly and entered the building. I was struggling. I even had to bite him but he didn't bulge. He carried me into a room in the uncompleted building.
"He removed my clothes. I told him I would rather he killed me than do anything to me. But he said he wasn't going to kill me but he would still have sex with me. That was how he forced himself on me and raped me,
"After raping me, he used one rag to clean me up. After he finished, he gave me N200. But I told him I wasn't going to take his money. I was afraid to tell anybody because he had said he would kill me. But eventually, I had to tell my sister who told my mother. I have not seen him again since then. He no longer comes to my mother's shop," she said.
"The victim's mother said her child was raped and presented a police report. We have taken her to the Mirabel Sexual Assault Referral Centre. After some tests, one of the doctors told the girl's mother that she was actually raped and she has been given some treatment," he said.
