Rape Again As Five-year-old Girl Accuses Father’s Friends Of Rape(Photo)

A five-year-old girl has accused five of her
father’s colleagues of rape. The victim, it
was learnt, was allegedly raped alongside
her three-year-old sister.


PUNCH Metro learnt that the victims and
their father, Ayodele Ekundayo, who is a
driver at a cement factory, lived in the
same compound with the suspects who all
work in the same company.
It was learnt that the company, which is
located in the Fagba area of Lagos State,
provided accommodation for its
employees.

It was learnt that the suspects – John
Mahansi, Taiye Ojo, aka Ejima , Deji
Adenekan, aka Orobo and Peter Irobo, aka
Apako , are between the ages of 24 and 33.
Speaking at the Lagos headquarters of the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,
the father of the victims said he was
disappointed when he found out that his
colleagues raped his daughters.He said
since he had no wife, he usually left the
little girls in the care of his colleagues.

Ekundayo said he discovered the alleged
rape when his daughters started
complaining about pains in their private
parts.
He said,
“Five days ago (on Thursday), my
younger daughter ran to me and was
shouting ‘pepper, pepper’ pointing
to her private parts. She took off her
pants and cried when I did not
answer her. When I asked her who
put pepper in it, she said it was
Apako .

“I called her elder sister and she
confessed to me and narrated all
that happened. She said they (the
suspects) threatened to kill them if
they told me what was going on.
“Others did not talk when I
approached them but Apako was
shouting and threatening me when I
challenged him. I am surprised they
could do such a thing to my
daughters. Those children are
precious to me.

“At times, I take them with me to
where we offload bags of cement
when there is nobody to look after
them. My older daughter told me
that two drivers, Ejima and Orobo,
used to touch her private parts
while I was busy at work. I left my
daughters with the security guards,
Mahansi and Segun, whenever I was
on night duty. I didn’t know that
they were also defiling my
daughters.”

The suspects, who were paraded by the
NSCDC, however, denied the allegations.
The five-year-old victim, however, told
PUNCH Metro that she was indeed raped
by the suspects.

The victim, who gave graphic details of
her encounter, said one of the suspects
instructed her to put his private parts in
her mouth.
She said,
“Yes. Apako , John, Segun, Orobo and
Ejima raped me. They put their
‘willy’ in my ‘bum-bum’ two times.
They kissed me. It was only Apako
that put his ‘willy’ in my sister’s
‘bum-bum.’”

A resident of Fagba, identified only as Dr.
Solanke, was said to have informed a
rights group, Ihuoma Girls Care and
Support Initiative, about the incident and
it later reported at the NSCDC command,
leading to the suspects’ arrest on Monday.
