14 year old boy rapes 9 year old girl to death in Ikorodu
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, toldPunch Metrothat Onyi is
the son of the proprietor of the school his daughter attended. He said
his daughter opened up about the rape when she started having medical
problems. 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 toldPUNCH Metrothat 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 Metrolearnt 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.
The alleged rapist's parents, in company with a chief in Ikorodu,
reportedly visited Jigo when he returned to Lagos. The group were said
to have pleaded that the bereaved father should not pursue the case
but he refused.
Jigo said, "I went to the Ikorodu Police station to report the case
but was surprised when the policemen on duty said I should not write
any statement. They only told me to write down my telephone number
and said they would call me later.
"After waiting for many days without any call, I wrote a petition and
the matter was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Yaba."
It was however learnt that Onyi had been taken to his father's
hometown in Delta State thereby stalling police investigation.
The teenager's parents, however described the incident as the
handiwork of the devil.
The 14-year-old boy's father, Andrew Adimabua, said, "I trained that
boy in the way of the Lord and expected so much from him. He has
confessed to the act; there is nothing to hide. He told me that he
learnt about sex by watching blue (pornographic) films.
"We are not hiding him and we will cooperate with the police. On the
day the little girl died, he was beaten up and made to stay in the
rain for hours. As a result, he contracted pneumonia so we sent him
home for treatment. When he recovers, he'll be taken to the police for
questioning."
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the
incident to our correspondent on the telephone, expressed shock at the
development.
Braide said Onyi would be re-arrested in the course of investigation.
"It is appalling that a teenager could indulge in such act. The matter
is under investigation and the culprit will be re-arrested."
