I Raped Friend’s Daughter ‘Because Of Lack of Money to Patronize Prostitutes - Suspect

Thirty-two year-old Nurudeen Oriyomi was arrested for allegedly defiling his late friend’s 12-year-old daughter at Alhaji Yinusa street, Bariga, Lagos.  He bowed in shame and self pity when approached, burying his face in his palms. When asked what brought him to the Lagos State Police Command , he burst into tears, still refusing to lift his face. 

 He spoke in an inaudible voice saying , 

“The devil pushed me to rape my late friend’s daughter.” 

The act took place in his one-room apartment at about 2pm on April 9, 2016, while the girl was sent on an errand. Information at Crime Guard’s disposal had it that Oriyomi and the father of the primary five pupil were friends before the latter’s demise two years ago. Since then, Oriyomi had reportedly been close to the family .  However, the relationship took a sinister dimension penultimate Thursday, after Oriyomi allegedly defiled the eldest child. The suspect, as gathered, stood in front of his house when he sighted the 12-year-old girl ( name withheld) passing-by. 

He called her and asked where she was going, before inviting her inside, pretending to send her on an errand. He ended up defiling her. But the burble burst five days later, after the girl’s mother noticed she was walking with difficulty. She reportedly ignored her initially, apparently thinking she could have sustained the injury while playing. But she was attracted to the blood stain on her daughter’s pant when she sat opposite her to relate activities of the day. 

Apparently thinking she had started observing her monthly menstrual flow, she curiously asked her daughter, who revealed to her dismay, after much persuasion, that she was raped by ‘brother’ Nurudeen as he was popularly addressed. The primary school pupil further told her mother that when she wanted to shout during the act but Oriyomi gagged her and after that, gave her N50, with a stern warning not to disclose what happened to anyone. 

 

Unable to believe what she has just heard, the widow intimated a neighbor who insisted that Oriyomi must be accosted . He was said to have owned up and begged passionately to be forgiven. But the case was reported at Bariga division , consequent upon which he was arrested. 

 

 Oriyomi was paraded among other alleged suspected criminals terrorizing Lagos State. In this interview with Crime Guard, he blamed his indulgence on the devil and hardship which he said made him unable to get money to patronize commercial sex workers. Hear him; 

“ I am a visitor here because I raped my friend’s daughter. I was actually sex- starved and was looking for every available means to ease myself. Before now, I used to patronize commercial sex workers any time I had such urge. But on this day, I had no money to pay them (commercial sex worker) or to buy condom . I was just outside contemplating on what to do when I sighted her. I called her inside, asked her to pull her dress while I pulled her pant and had carnal knowledge of her. When her mother came, I admitted and begged her to forgive me but I never knew she did not forgive me,”
