In Lagos, a nine-year-old girl died, who was repeatedly raped by Onyi Adimabua, 14 year son of the proprietor of the school she was attending, has died after sustaining injuries caused by the consistent rape.
The incident happen in Ikorodu area of the state.
The father of the deceased, Simeon Jigo, a 77-year-old man, said that when his daughter started having medical problems that she opened up on the rape
According to Punch Metro, “Up until my daughter’s death,
she was a pupil of Fulfilled Greenland School, Ikorodu, and she was in
primary three. One day, she came home and started complaining of pains
around her vagina, stomach area. We rushed her to Ikorodu General
Hospital.
“A doctor checked her and after
conducting some tests on her, told us that my daughter had sustained
medical complications due to forced sexual intercourse. I was alarmed by
this; so, I had a private discussion with my daughter.
“She told me that it was her school
proprietor’s son, Onyi, that had been raping her. The boy had threatened
to kill her if she ever told anyone about it.”
The indigene of Ondo State told PUNCH Metro
that after initial treatments, he took his daughter to Arogbo in Ondo
State to be taken care of but her condition continued to deteriorate.
A few days after the troubled father
travelled to Ondo State, Onyi, accompanied by his parents, also
travelled to Ondo State, to apologise to Jigo’s family. The girl,
however, was said to have died that very day.
“On getting to the house where my
daughter was, we discovered that she was dead. Onyi confessed that he
had been raping my daughter prior to her death,’ Jigo said.
PUNCH Metro learnt that after the girl’s demise, irate youths in the area attempted to lynch the 14-year-old boy.
The bereaved father was said to have
intervened and reported the matter to a nearby police station, where the
teenager was held for safe keeping. The next morning, Onyi and his
parents travelled back to Lagos.
The alleged rapist’s parents, in company
with a chief in Ikorodu, reportedly visited Jigo when he returned to
Lagos. The group were said to have pleaded that the bereaved father
should not pursue the case but he refused.
Jigo said, “I went to the Ikorodu Police
station to report the case but was surprised when the policemen on duty
said I should not write any statement. They only told me to write down
my telephone number and said they would call me later.
“After waiting for many days without any
call, I wrote a petition and the matter was transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.”
It was however learnt that Onyi had been taken to his father’s hometown in Delta State thereby stalling police investigation.
The teenager’s parents, however described the incident as the handiwork of the devil.
The 14-year-old boy’s father, Andrew
Adimabua, said, “I trained that boy in the way of the Lord and expected
so much from him. He has confessed to the act; there is nothing to hide.
He told me that he learnt about sex by watching blue (pornographic)
films.
MRS. Otiti Esegba, a 76 year-old grandmother, escaped from the den of her abductors about five hours after she was abducted, Monday.
She was abducted at 2a.m. by a five-man kidnap gang at Akperhe community in Olomu kingdom, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State and taken away on a motorcycle to their den at Oviri Olomu.
Mrs. Esegba is the mother of the Managing Director of Ben-Segba Technical Services Limited, an oil servicing firm in Ekpan.
Same day, a medical practitioner, Dr. Richard Kofi, a native of Okpare community, also in Olomu kingdom was seized as he was entering his clinic in Ughelli. He also escaped from his kidnappers.
Prior to the Esegba and Kofi episodes, a lawyer, Mr. Omonemu, was kidnapped by the gang and kept for 20 days before he regained freedom.
Mrs. Esegba, whose pleas to the kidnappers to free her fell on deaf ears, said she began to pray that God should make the two kidnappers guarding her to fall asleep. She said they actually fell asleep. That was when she ran.
The other three had left to go and abduct more victims, saying they needed more money.
She told Vanguard: “At about 2a.m., while I was asleep, I heard a deafening noise but before I knew it, two heavily armed men stormed into the house and seized me after pulling down my door.
“Three others, also armed, joined them and ransacked the house, took my jewelries, my clothes and money. They started beating and hitting me with guns.
“Thereafter, I was dragged onto one of the waiting motorcycles, popularly known as okada. One sat behind me and the three others took the other okada. The one seated behind me held my mouth and I was blind-folded.”
When she escaped, a fisherman took her in.
She said: “He took me to his home at a place I later found out to be Oviri-Olomu, after hearing my story.
“At his home I found out that he was married to my niece. They clothed me as I was almost naked.”
“This man called my people at Akperhe at 6a.m. They came and alerted Oviri community leadership. That is my story.”
