The Victim

Morufu

A 52 year old man identified as  Moruf Mohammed, has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for sexually abusing the 7 year old daughter of a prophetess whom he had gone to for spiritual help at her residence situated at number 5, Samsudeen Street, Igbogbo, Ikorodu, Lagos home last Wednesday May 25th.

According to a Vanguard report, the little girl had just returned from school and was home alone when Moruf came by their home. Her mother had gone to the market.

The victim said Moru,f who is married with three wives, pushed her against the door and inserted his fingers first into her vagina before he penetrated her. She said,

"Immediately I came back from school, Baba Moruf came to the house and asked after my mother. I told him that she was not at home. He then gave me N1,000, pushed me towards the door and removed my pants. When I tried to shout, he used his hands to cover my mouth. He first inserted his hands inside me before using his manhood on me.”

Moruf, while narrating his own part of the story at the Juvenile and Women Centre, JWC, Igbogbo Divisional headquarters initially described the incidence as the work of the devil, adding that he doesn't know what came over him, he however denied the allegation when he was paraded at the Police Command, Ikeja.

In his own words, “I am a bus driver from Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State and I have three wives. The victim’s mother called me on phone to get money for the job she was doing for me. When I got there, she was not at home. But I met her daughter, who had just returned from school. I went to see the victim’s mother because she is a prophetess and does some spiritual work for me. Unfortunately, her mother was not at home, so I gave her N1,000. I did not touch her. A few days later they arrested me for raping the little girl.”

The mother of the victim, narrating her ordeal said:

“I knew Moruf Mohammed sometime ago as he comes for some spiritual works. On Wednesday, I called him to get money for the work I have done for him. When I got home later, I met my daughter bleeding profusely with her uniform stained with blood. Immediately, I took her to the school where I was told nothing like that happened and that this was the handiwork of an adult. So I asked my daughter who did that to her? She said it was Moruf Mohammed, the client that gave her money to give to me. When we got to his place, my daughter identified him as the man that had defiled her and he was later arrested”.
