Underage Girl raped at Knifepoint in Ikorodu

A 14-year-old girl, in Ikorodu area of Lagos, has narrated how she was forced at knifepoint by a man simply identified as Dolapo in a house at Fajemisi Kokoro Abu Street in Sabo, Ikorodu area of Lagos.

“I was coming from where I bought rice for my boss when the incident happened, I was heading back to the Saloon 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 a knife and tied my mouth with a 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 dis-virgin. 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's shop; I was given some drugs and herbs. My mother later joined us and we went to report the incident at Igbogbo police station, then later went to the hospital.”

She noted that since the incident, she has not been fine. She said she wants proper care and wants her good health to be restored, adding that she also wants Dolapo to be arrested and face the full wrath of the law.
