Unbelievable sad story of how
a teenage boy Molested a 9yr
old girl to death in the Ikorodu
area of Lagos
From Punch
The police in Lagos State have
commenced investigation into
how a nine-year-old girl died,
after sustaining injuries caused
by alleged consistent
molestation. According to
police authorities, the deceased
was Molested over five times,
by a 14-year-old student, Onyi
Adimabua, in the Ikorodu area
of the state.
The father of the deceased,
Simeon Jigo, toldPunch
Metrothat Onyi is the son of the
proprietor of the school his
daughter attended. He said his
daughter opened up about the
molestation when she started
having medical problems. The
77-year-old man said his
daughter died on October 3,
2013.
He said, “Up until my
daughter’s death, she was a
pupil of Fulfilled Greenland
School, Ikorodu, and she was in
primary three. One day, she
came home and started
complaining of pains around
her womanliness, stomach
area. We rushed her to Ikorodu
General Hospital.
“A doctor checked her and after
conducting some tests on her,
told us that my daughter had
sustained medical
complications due to forced
intimate intercourse. I was
alarmed by this; so, I had a
private discussion with my
daughter.
“She told me that it was her
school proprietor’s son, Onyi,
that had been Molesting her.
The boy had threatened to kill
her if she ever told anyone
about it.”
The indigene of Ondo State
toldPUNCH Metrothat after
initial treatments, he took his
daughter to Arogbo in Ondo
State to be taken care of but
her condition continued to
deteriorate.
A few days after the troubled
father travelled to Ondo State,
Onyi, accompanied by his
parents, also travelled to Ondo
State, to apologise to Jigo’s
family. The girl, however, was
said to have died that very
day.
“On getting to the house where
my daughter was, we
discovered that she was dead.
Onyi confessed that he had
been Molesting my daughter
prior to her death,’ Jigo said.
PUNCH Metrolearnt that after
the girl’s demise, irate youths
in the area attempted to lynch
the 14-year-old boy.
The bereaved father was said
to have intervened and reported
the matter to a nearby police
station, where the teenager
was held for safe keeping. The
next morning, Onyi and his
parents travelled back to
Lagos.
The alleged Molester’s parents,
in company with a chief in
Ikorodu, reportedly visited Jigo
when he returned to Lagos. The
group were said to have
pleaded that the bereaved
father should not pursue the
case but he refused.
Jigo said, “I went to the
Ikorodu Police station to report
the case but was surprised
when the policemen on duty
said I should not write any
statement. They only told me
to write down my telephone
number and said they would
call me later.
“After waiting for many days
without any call, I wrote a
petition and the matter was
transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department,
Yaba.”
It was however learnt that Onyi
had been taken to his father’s
hometown in Delta State
thereby stalling police
investigation.
The teenager’s parents,
however described the incident
as the handiwork of the devil.
The 14-year-old boy’s father,
Andrew Adimabua, said, “I
trained that boy in the way of
the Lord and expected so much
from him. He has confessed to
the act; there is nothing to hide.
He told me that he learnt about
sex by watching blue
(pornographic) films.
“We are not hiding him and we
will cooperate with the police.
On the day the little girl died, he
was beaten up and made to
stay in the rain for hours. As a
result, he contracted
pneumonia so we sent him
home for treatment. When he
recovers, he’ll be taken to the
police for questioning.”
Police Public Relations Officer,
Ngozi Braide, who confirmed
the incident to our
correspondent on the
telephone, expressed shock at
the development.
Braide said Onyi would be re-
arrested in the course of
investigation.
“It is appalling that a teenager
could indulge in such act. The
matter is under investigation
and the culprit will be re-
arrested.”
