A security guard identified as John, has allegedly raped two sisters aged 11 and 10 respectively, for several weeks at Fidella Street, Aladura Estate in the Anthony area of Lagos State.
John has been nowhere to be found ever since the news of his act was revealed on Sunday, August 30, 2015.
Police officials in the state are unrelenting in their efforts to apprehend the fleeing offender who usually gave the victims the sum of N200 each time he committed the act.
John reportedly threatened the two victims that he would kill them if they dared to say a word of the encounter to their mother.
According to Punch, the two girls who later started complaining about back pain and headache finally opened up to their mother, Rosemary Peter, who filed a report at the Anthony Police Division.
Narrating her daughters’ harrowing ordeal, Peter, a food seller, said the suspect usually asked the girls to bring food to his workplace in a take-away pack during which he usually raped them.
Peter who hails from Kafanchan, Kaduna State, also disclosed that after the secret was revealed to her, she discovered that her daughters’ private parts were slacked.
She said, “I work as a food seller. John was one of my customers. He would say I should send a take-away pack to him at his workplace by afternoon. So, when the girls returned from school, I would send the two of them to take the food to him. I did not suspect that he was raping them.
“When they took the food to him, he would take them to a place and rape both of them. After satisfying himself, he would give them N200, and warn them not to say anything at home. He would threaten that he would harm them if they spoke up.
“Eventually, the two of them started to complain about headache and back pain. I was worried. On one occasion, I happened to be where the 11-year-old was taking her bath, and I observed that her private parts were slack as an adult’s. I was shocked, and I urged her to tell me what went wrong.
“That was when she opened up that it was John who had been sleeping with her and her sister. I rushed to the police station to make a report, but news had got to John that the girls had let out the matter, and he fled the area on the same day.
“But the police have assured us that he would be arrested. They told us to alert them anytime we set our eyes on him.”
A resident in the area, identified as Fatai Gafar, said the girls had yet to receive any medical attention.
He said, “The whole estate is aware of the incident. It is very unfortunate. The security man does not live here with his family. He was the only person staying in the place he rented, and he has fled.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor,is yet to confirm the incident.
