A girl has narrated how her mother's alleged friend brutally r*ped her by putting his hands inside her v*gina before using his manhood to molest her.
A little girl of 7 has narrated how her mother's friend brutally r*ped her before dashing her two N500 notes. The girl identified as Dupe narrated the incident to policemen after her mother’s customer, Moruf Mohammed (40) was arrested over the incident.
“He closed the door. He knelt down. I was standing. He put his fingers into me. I screamed. He used his hands to cover my mouth. He gave me money. He gave me two N500 notes and told me not to tell my mummy.” She revealed.
The girl’s mum, Kubura, said she found her daughter bleeding. She revealed that her daughter had told her that Mohammed allegedly defiled her when her mother went to the market. When Mohammed was arrested by detectives attached to the Lagos State Police Command, he denied ever touching Dupe. According to him, he is Dupe’s mother’s lover. He said the woman framed him because he refused to give her some money she requested for.
Explaining how it happened, Dupe said she was sexually violated around 1pm, after she returned from school. She told the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, who narrated the incident. Owoseni said: “Mohammed, residing at Philip Street, Ibeshe Ikorodu, allegedly defiled a seven- year-old girl at Ayanbandejo Street, Ikorodu."
However, Dupe’s mum, Kubura, debunked Mohammed’s claim that they were lovers. According to her, Mohammed was a customer who used to come to her shop to buy herbs. She insisted that Mohammed had visited her shop only twice. The second time was when he defiled her daughter. Kubura said: “I went out, leaving Dupe with her older siblings.
"The oldest among them was 20 years. I returned home around 2pm and found Dupe was sleeping. I asked her what was wrong with her. She said she wasn’t feeling well. She said a man gave her money.
"She said the man asked her where her mother was, she told him that her mum wasn’t around.
“He then took her to a back door. She said he put his fingers into her and later his manhood. He told her not to tell anyone. When I found her in bed, she was bleeding. I initially thought it happened at school. I went to school, but they said it wasn’t at school.”
Kubura revealed that she knows the man but they are not lovers: “Yes, I know him. I used to prepare herbal medicine for him. But I’m not his lover. I didn’t ask him for any money.”
Mohammed however insisted that he didn’t do anything to Dupe; he said he only gave her money because he felt like it. Kubura said that despite Dupe’s explanation of what transpired between her and a stranger, they didn’t know who raped the girl until Mohammed came. When Mohammed came to collect his herbal medicine, Dupe saw him and became frightened.
“When he came, Dupe saw him and ran away. I reported him to the police. Police brought him to the scene of the crime and he started telling people that I was his lover; that Dupe was his daughter. He claimed to know all my children.”
The police are still investigating the matter.
