Like
any observant parent, Mrs. Kehinde Oduntan became concerned when she
wanted to wash the clothes of her children and noticed what looked like
semen in her 12-year-old daughter’s underwear.
She quickly summoned her husband, Peter, and informed
him of her discovery. Peter confirmed that what she saw was actually
semen.
The parents questioned their daughter (name withheld)
and after much threat, she told them their 47-year-old neighbour, Mr.
Lateef Amuda, was the one that had sex with her.
“We asked her how many times he had had sex with her and she refused to tell us,” the mother told PUNCH Metro.
It was learnt that the girl later told nurses at a hospital that Amuda had had sex with her four different times.
When our correspondent visited the family at their
home in Meiran area of Lagos, the girl maintained that the man actually
raped her four times.
Her mother said, “We were angry; we could not fathom
why Amuda, whom we have always seen as a family friend, could do such a
thing to a young girl. My daughter said Amuda would come to our
apartment and ask her to follow him. She said those times he slept with
her, my husband and I were not around.
“She told us the last time he slept with her, she was
sleeping on the bed and Amuda entered our apartment, woke her up and
asked her to follow him.
“We then reported at the Oke-Odo Police Station and
the police arrested him. While Amuda was locked up, his relatives came
to beg us to get him released.
“They apologised to us to forget about the matter,
that what had been done could not be undone. We were furious. I told
them I was not a fool that the police would decide what to do with him.”
It was learnt that Amuda was arrested on February 2
and was released five days after. Since his release, the suspect had not
returned home.
