A man, identified as Dolapo has been reported to rape a 14-year-old girl in Ikorodu and had used his top to clean the blood that came from the just deflowered girl’s private part.
The victim, an apprentice with a salon recounted that she was brutally raped at knife-point by Dolapo, in a house at Fajemisi Kokoro Abu Street in Sabo, Ikorodu area of Lagos State on Monday when she was sent on an errand to buy her boss food, as reported by the Nation. On her way, the victim narrated that she was accosted by Dolapo who works at a gas operator shop in the said street.
“I was heading back to the Salon when Dolapo called me to come but I did not answer him because I don’t know him. He then crossed my path by a house that is at a corner on Fajemisi Kokoro Abu Street in Sabo, Ikorodu and pushed me. He lifted up his yellow top, brought out knife and tied my mouth with cloth. He pushed me on the floor, dragged me to a room and said if I move, he will kill me and run away.
“He dragged me to the bed, removed my clothes, slept with me and afterward, I got disvirgined. He removed his yellow top and used it to clean my blood; he opened the door and ran out with the cloth. I went out of the room and shouted, people came around, and some chased after him but did not find him. A woman took me to my boss shop; I was given some drug and shewbs. My mother later joined us and we went to report the incident at Igbogbo police station, then later went to the hospital.” the girl recounted.
The victim’s mother, Monsura who explained that her daughter has three cuts on her private part from the rape expressed her worry over what the alleged rapist will do with her daughter’s blood. She further added that her daughter had not been well since the incidence occurred. “When she came out of that room, there was sand all over her body. As she is with me, she is not well, she is not fine and she is not comfortable. She has since Monday been bathing with hot water and she cannot do anything by herself. She has been wearing cardigan up and down since Monday and covering up herself with bedsheet“, she explained.
She further stated that she would have the alleged rapist arrested if she has the power. “If I had power, I would make them carry the man Dolapo lives with, his parents and the owner of the gas shop. If all these people are arrested, Dolapo will appear.
