A prosecution witness, a medical doctor, Mrs Aniekan Makanjuola, yesterday told Justice Rahmon Oshodi, the survivor presented herself at the centre on March 16, 2020 for medical examination.
Makanjuola, a staff of Women at Risk International Foundation , narrated to the court how the defendant and others still at large allegedly dragged the survivor to an uncompleted building, robbed her of a phone and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her. According to her: “Survivor and her friends were returning from an outing when she overheard some boys shouting ‘thief’ and they hid in a house, after the boys left, they came out but unknown to them, another group of armed boys followed them and collected their phones. The survivor said the boys also collected a phone from her belonging to another person, and she begged them to return the phone but the boys insisted she must follow them before they give her the phone.
The witness further told the court that the survivor said that same day, two of those boys that had earlier raped her ran after her after she boarded a tricycle and dragged her into an uncompleted building. She said the two boys came on a bike and blocked the tricycle, ordered her out of it, took her to an uncompleted building and had sexual intercourse with her.
