Firstclass newsline learnt that a 45-year-old tailor, identified only
as Fasasi, has allegedly seized the underwear and clothes of a
16-year-old girl after raping her in the Agege area of Lagos.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the teenager, Comfort (not real name),
who was a Secondary School Class 1 pupil, was allegedly raped by
Fasasi when she ran an errand for her mother.
Firstclass newsline that Fasasi, who had been arrested by the police,
reportedly called the girl and asked her to also buy food for him
while she ran the errand for her mother.
Fasasi was said to have led the teenager to his room, when she
requested his plate, and allegedly asked her to remove her clothes and
underwear.
It was learnt that the tailor allegedly packed the underwear and the
clothes away and raped Comfort.
When Fasasi reportedly refused to return her underwear and clothes
after the rape, the girl was said to have fled the room. It was learnt
that one of the suspect's neighbours noticed the girl and came to her
rescue.
The matter was said to have been reported at the Isokoko Police
Division, and Fasasi was arrested.
Speaking with the source, Comfort said Fasasi threatened to stab her
to death with a knife if she raised the alarm.
She added that when the suspect refused to return her clothes after
the rape, she fled the room with one of his wrappers.
She said, "It was on April 19, 2015, at about 5pm. My mother and I
live on Shaiba Street in the Agege area. I had never gone to the
tailor's house before. I did not know he was a rapist.
"On the fateful day, he asked me to follow him inside his room to get
the plates that I would use to buy food for him. Once I entered the
room, he immediately locked the door behind him. He then brought out a
knife and threatened to kill me if I did not undress.
"I begged him, but he did not listen. I was scared that he would kill
me, so I obeyed. But after removing my clothes and underwear, he
collected them from me, and went out with them. I asked him where he
was taking them to; he said he was taking them to his shop.
"Seconds later, he returned and he raped me. I was shouting inside the
room, but no one seemed to hear me. When he was done, I asked for my
clothes, but he said he would not release them unless he had one more
round. As soon as I saw an opportunity, I took one of his wrappers,
and forced my way out of his room."
Comfort added that it was when she ran out of the room that one of
Fasasi's neighbours noticed and came to her rescue.
"When I got outside, I met a woman who was one of Fasasi's neighbours.
When she saw me, she understood what had happened and confronted him."
A resident, who identified herself simply as Abiola, told the source
that oneSingedeusually bailed the suspect whenever he was arrested by
the police.
She said, "A week after Fasasi was arrested, we saw him returning to
his shop. They said he was arraigned in court, but he had been granted
bail.Singedemust have secured his bail as usual."
Firstclass newsline learnt that the suspect, however, had yet to
return Comfort's clothes and underwear to her.
Firstclass newsline learnt from a source in Fasasi's house that the
suspect might have thrown the clothes away.
Speaking with the source, Comfort's mother urged the police to ensure
that the suspect returned her daughter's clothes.
She said, "I am afraid of what he might do with my daughter's
underwear. What does he want to do with her clothes? I have been
worried since the day this incident happened."
Firstclass newsline learnt that the rape incident was also reported to
the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team.
The DSVRT Coordinator, Mrs. Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, told the source that
a request had been sent for the transfer of the case file to the
Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
She said, "It was a non-governmental organisation that brought the
matter to our attention. What we then did was to refer the victim to
Mirabel Centre for proper treatment. We also made a report to the
police to ensure that the suspect was arrested and charged to court.
"As we speak, the DPP has requested the case file to be forwarded to
it. This is a case of alleged defilement, it will be prosecuted by the
DPP."
