Dickson Okechukwu, father of an
11-year-old girl, Favour, who was recently gang-raped in Lagos, has narrated
how he found her corpse in a building on Olarewaju Street, Ejigbo, after a
frantic search for her.
Favour, a Junior Secondary School
student, was sent on an errand to buy a carton of gala for her mother around 3:00pm
on Wednesday.
The deceased was said to have
been lured into a building on Olarewaju Street where four men took turns to
rape her.
She was suspected to have been gaged in the process, apparently to avoid raising the alarm.
Her devastated father described
her as a brilliant girl.
He said, “She’s my daughter,
she’s very brilliant. She’s a girl that has future but unfortunately some
hoodlums cut her life short. The incident happened on Wednesday 30th of
September.
"She prepared for school in
the morning, promising to meet me later in the day. I also went out for my
business.
“But when I came back around
9:00pm, I was shocked when my wife said Favour hadn’t returned from where she
was to collect a carton of the gala because it was unusual of her to stay long
outside. I immediately went to some of her classmates houses to look for her
but they all said they didn’t see her. Her classmates parents too joined us and
we started searching for her. I started walking like a mad man, asking everyone
I saw about her whereabout and it was getting dark.
“I saw a man who lives on the
same street with me and told him I was looking for my daughter. He informed me
that he had to close early because a little girl was raped to death in a
building close to his shop. He said the incident had caused panic in the area.
I decided to go and check since I was looking for my daughter and he
accompanied me to the building.
“So when I got to the compound, I
met three people and told them what I heard. They were speaking Yoruba, so I
didn’t really understand them, they pointed the room where the incident
happened to me and behold, when I got there, it was my daughter, Favour! She
was naked with blood all over her body. I shouted, shook her vigorously as I called
out her name, begging her to wake up.”
Though the suspects are still at
large, Brimcewil Tabi, owner of the room in which Favour was gang-raped, has
been arrested and claimed he knew those who perpetrated the act.
