Touching Story Of A Labourer Who Takes Care Of His Young Girls ALONE & How His Friends DEFILED Them

From Punch;

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 with our correspondent 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.

The Lagos State NSCDC Commandant, Gabriel Abafi, said the
victims were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital on Tuesday
for medical examination and treatment, adding that the medical results were
being awaited.

He, however, said that a preliminary check revealed that
there were bruises in the minors’ private parts and urged members of the public
not to hesitate to report such incidents to the command.

He said, “We have yet to know what the reason of the
suspects was for defiling these little girls. We have just been to the hospital
to ascertain the virginity of the victims. There are bruises in their private
parts which is evidence that they were sexually assaulted. Meanwhile,
investigation is still ongoing.”
