It was gathered that perpetrators of the unholy act were young men who reside in the camps and some who come from within the communities where the camps are situated.
From Wurukum to Saint Catherine and Wadata camps, it was the same sad story. One of the victims, a girl of 19 who craved anonymity disclosed that she was raped two days ago at about 10pm by a young man she couldn’t identify. Click to read what she has to say.
She said: “I just walked back into the camp after I had visited a former neighbour in town. I got into the camp that evening, while walking towards the classrooms where we sleep, somebody called my name from a dark spot.
“I tried to find out who it was, but before I knew what was happening, somebody grabbed me from behind and threatened that he would stab me to death if I shouted. He grabbed me down and raped me.
“I am not the only one they have done this to, there are so many other girls; there are over 19 of us that have been raped in the last few days, but we are all hiding it because of the shame, but if we don’t cry out we will not get help because we are helpless.”
“And if we don’t cry out because of the shame, the people behind this evil acts will continue to torment girls and women in the camps.” This is just sad. We are our own enemies.
That last sentence has capped it all up. 'We are our own enemies'. In the midst of adversity, people are still perpetratin evil! Haba kilode?! Forget Nigerian, we Nigerians are the ones messed up, every one of us, both outside and within. The supposedly good ones are keeping mum, running away, or fighting behind their tv n computer screens, while the evil ones are reigning. Nigerians what's the way forward? Where are the beautyful people? Definitely not born!

ReplyDeleteRape is sick and wrong, happens everywhere so its not a Nigerian thing. What is really disturbing is the rate and what is not been done to stop it or apprehend the perpetrators. What's even worse is the stigma these victims fear and have to put up with if they come out and talk about it.
