86-Year-Old Woman Raped into Coma Narrates Ordeal

Mrs Belawu Jimoh has narrated her experience in the hands of the notorious serial rape suspect simply identified as Badoo, who had reportedly terrorised the residents of Oke Ota, Ibeshe, Ikorodu, prior to his arrest. She revealed this while speaking with Vanguard yesterday.

The 86-year-old who recounted the horrifying events of June 5, stated that she was woken from sleep when an unidentified man entered her room at around 1:00am through the backyard and threatened to kill her if she failed to cooperate.The rapist who led her outside to carry out the heinous crime chopped off her nose in the process which made her lose consciousness as she lost a lot of blood. She later woke up in the hospital where her son explained that she had lost her nose during the ordeal.

“I could have shouted, but he threatened to kill me and so I kept quiet. I was conscious initially, but became unconscious after losing much blood. I did not know what transpired thereafter, but I woke up in the hospital where my son later told me I lost my nose to an attack.“

The rapist who was nabbed by residents and saved from being lynched at the insistence of the traditional ruler who made sure he was handed over to the men of the RSS on Sunday, is said to be the same man who raped and murdered a 27-year-old Ghanaian schoolteacher, Grace Obinna, in the presence of her 14-month-old baby in the same community.

Madam Belawu’s health was adversely affected by the ordeal and she is currently nursing bruises  from that experience. She, however, expressed happiness that the suspect who is believed to use a handkerchief to clean up his victims after raping them, had been captured and arrested  after a 3-day manhunt.
