She said, “Aunty Nnena (Okoro)
said I should follow her to buy mangoes in Barracks Lane. She did not like the
mangoes they had there and she said we should go to Ojo Road. We went to a
hotel and met a man, who she called her friend. Aunty Nnena told me to enter a
room. Suddenly, both of them dragged me to the bed. Nnena held my hand and
covered my mouth with a cloth. The man pulled off my trousers and raped me. He
left the hotel immediately he finished doing it and said he had paid Aunty

She said, “Faith is my friend. On
the fateful day, we both went to buy mangoes on Ojo Road. On getting to a hotel
at Tolu, one man called her. They both discussed and the man paid N500 to the
hotel attendant and they entered the room. I later left them inside the room to
ease myself. It was when I came back that she told me that she was raped. I did
not know that she was a virgin. We have never discussed anything like that
before. Her pants were stained with blood. I have never seen the man before
that day, but I can recognise him if I see him again.”
