61-year-old guard on the run for raping two sisters, gives them N200

Firstclass newsline learnt that the police in Lagos are on the trail
of a security man, identified only as John, who allegedly raped two
sisters for several weeks in the Anthony area of Lagos.
Firstclass newsline learnt that 61-year-old John reportedly gave the
sisters, Comfort and Precious (not real names), the sum of N200 to
appease them each time he raped the girls.
He was also said to have warned the 11-year-old and 10-year-old
victims that he would kill them if they revealed the secrets to their
mother.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the rape, which reportedly went on for
several weeks, was later discovered on August 30, when the girls
started to complain about back pain and headache.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the girls then opened up to their
mother, who reported the matter at the Anthony Police Division.
When our correspondent visited Fidella Street, Aladura Estate, where
the incident happened, it was learnt that John had not returned to his
rented apartment since the day the incident was reported to the
police.
Speaking with a source , the mother of the girls, Rosemary Peter, who
hails from Kafanchan, Kaduna State, and works as a food seller, said
John usually asked the girls to bring food to his workplace in a
take-away pack during which he took advantage of the girls.
She added that she was not aware of the incident, until when her
daughters began to complain about back pain and headache. She noted
that she also observed that her daughters' private parts were slack.
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, who gave his name as Fatai Gafar, said the
police should intensify efforts in arresting the suspect, adding that
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."
