Mommoh Street in the Agege area of Lagos State.

A resident and an eyewitness, Iya Egun, reported
that she had initially thought the young girl was having her menstrual flow. “I
saw her writhing in pain in a bathroom. She said she wanted to defecate, but I
saw blood coming out of her private parts. I raised the alarm and when other
people arrived at the scene, she said it was Segun that raped her.” One of the
victim’s relative, Okunloye Kehinde, reported that her private parts were badly
damaged, “I got a call around 2pm that fateful Saturday. When I got there, I
saw a crowd of people around her. I saw a container filled with blood. Even her
clothes were drenched in blood.” Kehinde further said he went with the victim’s
father to report the incident at the Elere Police Division and the police
swooped into action and arrested the culprit. The girl spoke to Punch Newspaper
on her hospital bed, “I am in primary six. On Friday, he (Segun) gave me N50 to
buy sweet for myself. He then asked me to caress his private parts. When I told
him I would tell my daddy, he said I should not go home.” “He took me to his
house around Railway Line where he raped me. I was there from 3pm till around
7pm. I started bleeding from his house and when I got home, the blood did not
stop. But I kept it secret until Saturday when people saw it.” -
