Two wo
sisters, Essiet, 18, and 20-year-old Debby (pseudonyms), have been r*ped by a
gang of six men who accosted them in the Bariga area of Lagos State.
The
victims were returning from a hospital in the Oworonsoki area last Thursday
when they were attacked by the suspects.
While
Essiet was deflowered by four men, her elder sister, Debby, was ravished by two
of the hoodlums.
Describing
the horrible experieince with Punch Newspaper, Essiet said, “It happened on May
21 around 11pm. My sister and I went to give food to a family member who had
just given birth to a baby in Oworonsoki.
“We were
returning in the night when we saw the men. They had guns, cutlasses and other
weapons.
“They
waylaid us and said if we shouted they would kill us. They took us to a spot
around Dahomey junction and r*ped us.”
The
second victim, Debby, described the incident as painful.
She said
she wanted the suspects punished and their accomplices, who were still at
large, arrested.
She said,
“Two of them r*ped me, while four r*ped my sister.
“The
third man wanted to r*pe me when a car approached. They all took to their
heels. It was a painful experience. I have taken different medications and
visited the hospital as well.”
A day after the act, one of the
victims, while passing through the area, spotted one of the suspects.
She was
said to have reported the matter to the police, who arrested the suspect.
Debby
said, “We were able to recognise him because when they were r*ping us, he took
my phone and also shouted at me to stop looking at him. We saw his face
clearly.
“I just
want them to go to jail for what they have done to us.”

Too bad
