She said John usually asked the girls to
bring food in a take-away pack to his work
place and she would comply without
suspecting that he was using the opportunity
to take advantage of the girls. When the
matter was reported to the police, John fled
he area although the police are on his trail.
Rosemary said: “I work as a food seller. John
was one of my customers. He would say I
should send a take-away pack to him at his
workplace by afternoon. So, when the girls
returned from school, I would send the two
of them to take the food to him. I did not
suspect that he was raping them.
“When they took the food to him, he would
take them to a place and rape both of them.
After satisfying himself, he would give them
N200, and warn them not to say anything at
home. He would threaten that he would harm
them if they spoke up.
“Eventually, the two of them started to
complain about headache and back pain. I
was worried. On one occasion, I happened to
be where the 11-year-old was taking her
bath, and I observed that her private parts
were slack as an adult’s. I was shocked, and
I urged her to tell me what went wrong.
“That was when she opened up that it was
John who had been sleeping with her and her
sister. I rushed to the police station to make
a report, but news had got to John that the
girls had let out the matter, and he fled the
area on the same day.

“But the police have assured us that he
would be arrested. They told us to alert them
anytime we set our eyes on him.”
Fatai Gafar, a resident in the area said John
must be arrested and noted that the children
had not received adequate medical attention.
“The whole estate is aware of the incident. It
is very unfortunate. The security man does
not live here with his family. He was the only
person staying in the place he rented, and he
has fled.”
The rape of minors is fast becoming an
alarming occurence and unfortunately, few
cases get reported. This is sometimes due to
the stigma that is attached to the incident.
Some victims also refuse to report it for fear
of being accused of immorality.
