A 13-year-old girl, yesterday, disclosed how her uncles— Saviour Philip, 35, and Paul Philip, 17—took turns to rape her in their one-room apartment on Olowolagba Street, off Odunsi, Bariga area of Lagos State.

She also revealed that one of the suspects also assaulted her eight-year-old cousin, while their mother was away.



Vanguard gathered that the victims and their mother moved into the suspects’ apartment five months ago, due to their parents’ inability to get an accommodation. The accommodation problem also forced the children to drop out of school.

Speaking with Vanguard, the teenager disclosed that her uncles usually assaulted her sexually whenever her mother was away.



‘He threatened to kill me’

According to the Junior Secondary School 2 student,

“Paul started it. He usually did it in the afternoon when my mother and other tenants were away. I was arranging my siblings’ clothes one afternoon when he came from behind, lifted me and dropped me on the floor. “He covered my mouth when I wanted to shout. When he was done, he threatened to kill me if I told my mother or anyone.
“When he is finished with me, he would call my little cousin inside and asked me to stay outside. At times, I would see him dipping his fingers into my cousin’s private part.
“Paul is supposed to be in SSS 3, but he said that he didn’t like going to school, particularly on the day he wanted to do it.

“Saviour also did it. But in his case, he penetrated my anus. The first day he did it, I shouted because of the pains, but he covered my mouth with clothes. When he was done, he brought out juju (charms) and said that he will invoke it to kill me if I tell anyone.
“I refused to tell anyone because I was afraid to die. Even when I threatened to tell my mother, Paul boasted that she will not do anything to him and that if I did, they would chase us out of the house.


“I was forced to open up two weeks ago after my mother beat me because of Paul. She overheard me insulting Paul.
Instead of asking me why, she picked up a heavy stick and started beating me with it and at the same time, reminded me that Paul was not just my relation, but my senior as well.
“Out of annoyance, I summoned up courage and told my mother that the reason why I was rude to Paul was because he and his elder brother had been sleeping with me.
“At that point, she held Paul’s shirt, ........

News like these makes me wonder whether it's even safe to leave your male and female children together in the house. That was how in my former area at Ijanikin, a boy impregnated his younger sister. They are Deeper Life members and their parents don't allow them to go out. They had to quickly send the girl to their village to cover the shame. When eventually learnt she had a stillbirth. Who knows what happened!
To the issue at hand. Those uncles deserve whatever punishment is meted out on them. Let a sibling try that with my daughter and see whether I'll wait for the law or God to judge. I'd rather judge it my way, then wait for the law to judge me, and God to judge us both.
