The police in Nasarawa State have
arrested two brothers, Umar and Musa Ali for allegedly raping a
14-year-old girl at Tudun Lambaga in the Eggon Hills area, Eggon Local
Government Area of the state....
The victim, identified as Esther, was
reportedly ambushed and assaulted by the suspects at a secluded part of
the road on September 16,2017.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Kennedy Idirisu, confirmed that Umar and Musa had been apprehended
following a complaint by Esther’s parents.
Narrating her ordeal in an interview
with Northern City News in Lafia, Esther stated that she was with four
others when the incident happened.
She said she and the others had earlier
ignored the boys when they approached them, but the duo subsequently
ambushed them at a lonely and secluded part of the road where they
threatened her with a knife and cutlass.
Esther said, “On our way down from the
hills when we passed by the settlement of the Fulani, we saw the Fulani
people and my brother’s wife greeted them but they did not respond.
“As we were going, I stopped to strap my
niece properly on my back and I saw the Fulani boys. My brother’s wife
asked why they were running after us and one of them said all they
wanted was sex and that if we refused they would kill us.
“I was crying and pleading and my
brother’s wife was also pleading with them. She even removed her clothes
saying that she was sick and that she was on her way to the hospital.
“They said they were not interested in
her, that they wanted me and they must have sex with me. I refused to
have sex with them, but after they threatened me with a knife and
machete, I had to succumb. The first one raped me by the roadside, while
the second one carried me to the bush and also raped me,” Esther
narrated.
