“My sister was sent to buy a candle and noodles in the neighbourhood. It was some minutes before 10pm. She was accosted by the rapist, and when she raised the alarm, he covered her mouth with clothes and raped her.

The annoying part was that the man came to our house and threatened to deal with us if we made a noise over the incident.

He came with thugs and beat up my father. He was injured; broken bottles were used on him, he threatened to kill me too.

I took pictures of the broken bottles and my father’s bloodstained clothes. We reported at the Ajegunle division and the case is presently at the Juvenile Welfare Department of the station,” Simeon said.
