In another case that has highlighted the
increasing child sexual abuses in Nigeria, a 65-year-old landlord, in
Akowonjo area of Lagos, Mr. Ganiyu Sani, has allegedly raped a
seven-year-old girl, Blessing. But this time, the......
parents of the victim
believe he did it for ritual purposes.
The civil servant mother of the victim explained that on Monday, August 17, 2015, when she got
back from work and was having dinner with her children, Blessings
started to touch her crotch and complain of pain.
“I felt the part she was touching and
asked what was wrong with her. I thought she was referring to her lower
abdomen and believed it must be stomach ache. But she insisted that it
was her private part.
“I asked if she fell down and hurt
herself but she simply shook her head. I asked if someone hit her there
while she was playing with other children in the neighbourhood, she said
no. I started suspecting there was something bigger than what she was
telling me.
“I pleaded with her to tell me what happened. That was when she told me about what Baba
did. I could not contain my anger. I was shocked, angry and sad at the
same time that such an old man could do such a thing to my daughter. My
daughter had no reason to lie.”
Blessing’s father, a trader from Ebonyi
State, works in the Eastern part of the country while his wife and the
children live in Lagos because of his wife’s work.
