The police in Lagos State have
commenced investigation into how a nine-year-old girl died, after sustaining
injuries caused by alleged consistent rape.
According to police authorities, the
deceased was raped over five times, by a 14-year-old student, Onyi Adimabua, in
the Ikorodu area of the state.
The father of the deceased, Simeon
Jigo, told PUNCH Metro that Onyi is the son of the proprietor
of the school his daughter attended.
The 77-year-old man said his
daughter died on October 3, 2013.
He said, “Up until my daughter’s
death, she was a pupil of Fulfilled Greenland School, Ikorodu, and she was in
primary three. One day, she came home and started complaining of pains around
her vagina, stomach area. We rushed her to Ikorodu General Hospital.
“A doctor checked her and after
conducting some tests on her, told us that my daughter had sustained medical
complications due to forced sexual intercourse. I was alarmed by this; so, I
had a private discussion with my daughter.
“She told me that it was her school
proprietor’s son, Onyi that had been raping her. The boy had threatened to kill
her if she ever told anyone about it.”
The indigene of Ondo State
told PUNCH Metro that after initial treatments, he took his
daughter to Arogbo in Ondo State to be taken care of but her condition
continued to deteriorate.
A few days after the troubled father
travelled to Ondo State, Onyi, accompanied by his parents, also travelled to Ondo
State, to apologise to Jigo’s family. The girl, however, was said to have died
that very day.
“On getting to the house where
my daughter was, we discovered that she was dead. Onyi confessed that he had
been raping my daughter prior to her death,’ Jigo said.
PUNCH Metro learnt that after the girl’s demise, irate youths in
the area attempted to lynch the 14-year-old boy.
The bereaved father was said to have
intervened and reported the matter to a nearby police station, where the
teenager was held for safe keeping. The next morning, Onyi and his parents
travelled back to Lagos.
