A 14-year-old girl has been allegedly raped by a yet-to-be identified male said to be the son of the owner of the building where the victim and her parents reside in the Alakuko area of Lagos.
In a viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, a social media user @Rhwaley, stated: “14yrs old girl was raped yesterday by her landlord’s son in Alakuko Lagos. The parents and family of the girl are helpless. The landlord said nothing will happen!!”
In the video, the victim was seen crying with her jean trouser drenched in blood.
She was in the company of some people who were asked about the culprit, who was said to have fled.
In his reaction to the video, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Lagos State Governor, Hon. Jubril Gawat, said, “Helpless me. Nobody is helpless on this matter in this State. Call @Lagosdsva SHARPLY”
Consequently, the Sexual and Domestic Violence Agency responded on the thread: “Kindly call our Toll Free Line – 08000 333 333 to make a report immediately
“Alternatively, send us a number you can be contacted on via DM.”
The Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, also remarked on his verified X handle that, “I have been tagged a lot in this post. I have equally called the DPO Alakuko repeatedly to get an update. The only update I have been getting is, ‘No report of such has been made.’
