A 10-year
old girl who was a victim of sexual abuse has made a shocking confession,
saying that she cannot do without having sex with men daily.
She narrated
how an old man, who was their neighbour at Mile 12, Lagos State, southwest
Nigeria, lured her into s*x at seven and since then she cannot
resist having sex everyday. The primary two pupil said if she did not see
any man to have s*x with her in her area, she would go to a popular under
bridge at Mile 12 Lagos and beg for sex from touts.
She said she
came from Enugu state to Lagos to live with her aunt after the death of her
father.
Her case has
become so serious that she had to be referred to an NGO, Community Health
Support and Empowerment Initiative, COHSAEI, which has taken up the challenge
to rehabilitate her.
The little
girl said she was lured into sex by a man she called Baba who lived with her
aunt in the same compound.
She said the
man (Baba) usually called her to his apartment whenever his wife and her aunt
were not around and will put his finger inside her private part.
“He will
tell me to come back home immediately our school closes and when I reach home
he will be waiting for me to finger my vagina,” she narrated.
She said
with time he started having real sex with her.
She said
when the man that initiated her into it moved out of their area, she resorted
to meeting other men in the area without her aunt knowing.
She said she
has become addicted to sex and cannot do without it.
“When I
desire sex and I do not see anybody to do it in my area, I will go under the
bridge and beg the touts to do it for me,” he said.
Her
predicament came when she confessed to her teacher what she was going through
after the teacher noticed some abnormal behaviour in her.
The teacher
contacted her aunt who contacted an NGO for assistance.
The
programme coordinator of the NGO, Mrs. Priscilla Ingbia, noted that her case
was very pathetic because of her age. She said her group took up the challenge
to rehabilitate her because it was clear if nothing was done urgently her
future was in danger.
She said her
organisation has started the process of rehabilitating her by carrying out
series of tests on her to ascertain her health conditions.
Ingbia
stressed the urgent need to relocate her from her present environment and start
a new life for her.
She said her
organisation has not been able to do so because of the financial cost of doing
so.
