Four Men Gang-Rape 15 Year-Old Schoolgirl For Five Days In Lagos

A 15-year-old teenager, who was allegedly abducted, drugged and raped by four men in the Igando Area of Lagos State, has been found.

She was found last Friday, five days after she went missing and a search party was raised by her family.

The victim’s father, Tony said his daughter had just finished sitting her West African Senior Secondary School Examination and was on her way to church when she was abducted.

He said the victim was going to the Saint John Catholic Church, Igando, when four men in a Toyota Camry, who pretended to give her a lift, drove her away.

Tony said the teenager was in the company of her siblings when the incident happened.

He said, “My other children said on their way to church, they greeted the people who were in the car and they asked where they were going and they said church.

So, they said they should get in the car that they were also heading in the same direction.

“But after their eldest sister entered the car, they sped off and her other siblings started shouting, ‘Sister, where are you going to?’

Immediately, they wound up the glass and even when she was shouting for help, nobody could hear her.

 

“After searching for her throughout Monday and Tuesday, I reported a case of a missing person at the Ikotun Police Station and the search for her continued.

We posted her picture on different WhatsApp groups until a church member saw the post on Friday and sent us the number plate of the car that was used to abduct my daughter.

“The church member said he saw when my daughter entered the car and he immediately wrote down the number plate of the car, but he didn’t know that she was abducted, adding that he saw the street where the car entered.

“We went to the street, Aiye Omere, Igando. When we got there, we saw the car and my daughter, where she was kept, drugged and was being raped by the four men from Monday till Friday between 4pm and 5pm when we got there.

“My daughter was not herself; the only thing she was able to tell her mother was that they kept drugging and raping her and whenever they were going out, they would drug her and then she would fall asleep until they returned.”

The victim’s father said one of the suspects was identified as Ifeanyi the Great, adding that the police arrested some of the culprits.

He noted that a classmate of the victim who lived on the street where she was violated was also arrested.

“After we found my daughter, we took her to the Igando General Hospital so she could be examined, but she was rejected. They said we should come back on Monday, but a family member told us to go to Mirabel Centre at Ikeja and not wait till Monday.

“I want justice for my daughter. I want all those involved in the abduction, drugging and raping of my daughter to be punished for the violence they committed against her,” he added.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
