Woman Raped To Death In Lagos; How The Man Uses Clothes On Ladies' Private Parts

Residents of Oke Ota community in the Ibeshe, Ikorodu area of Lagos, on Thursday blocked the Ibeshe Road to protest against the r*pe and killing of a Ghanaian resident, Grace Obinna, by a heartless man who has been identified simply as Badoo.

Apart from 27yrs old Obinna, Badoo had r*ped two other women, cutting them with knives afterwards.

According to Punch, Badoo who sneaked into women’s apartments only at night, had also struck in Ilemeren, Abule, Oluwoye, Ibeshe Titun, and other communities around Oke Ota.

It was gathered that the attack on Obinna, a mother of one, which occurred around 1am on Sunday, was one of his latest, which had forced other women to relocate to houses outside the community.

It was gathered that on Sunday, Badoo broke the window into Obinna’s apartment and went into the room of the victim while her husband was away.

The assailant was said to have r*ped Obinna and hit her head with weapons.

It was learnt that when neighbours and local vigilance group members, who heard the victim’s cries, got to the room, the man had fled, while Obinna and her baby were in a pool of blood.

The Ghanaian lady was rushed to two hospitals, but was rejected. She was confirmed dead at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.

The case was reported at the Ipakodo Police Division and the residents added that the suspect had threatened to wreak more havoc in the community.

It was learnt that the panic prompted a protest, as residents blocked the Ibeshe Road and demanded that the security agencies mobilise to the area to arrest the suspect.

When Punch arrived at the scene on Thursday, the residents, including about 200 women, were seen holding leaves and singing solidarity songs.

The Chairman of the landlords’ association, Pastor Abayomi Adelakun, said the man attempted to r*pe an 86-year-old woman in the community a week before the Ghanaian fell victim.

He said, “Two weeks ago, he came to Oke Ota and attacked an 86-year-old grandma. He attempted to r*pe her, but when she resisted, he injured her in the nose. The woman was rushed to a hospital. She survived the attack.

“On Sunday, around 1am, I was called by a security man that Badoo had r*ped and brutalised Grace (Obinna), who was a teacher with a nine-month-old baby. When we got to the scene, I could not recognise the lady again. All her teeth had been removed; she was in a pool of blood. She was rejected at two hospitals, but confirmed dead at LASUTH.

“Badoo forces himself into women’s rooms, r*pes and brutalises them if they resist. He was doing that in the neighbouring communities and has now come to Oke Ota.”

A resident, who gave her name only as Adenike, said Badoo sneaked into women’s apartments n*ked.

She said, “We do not know the power this man is using. He does not steal; he only sneaks into women’s rooms and r*pes them. After the act, he uses a handkerchief to rub the victim’s private parts. Women, who have seen him at night, said he also rubbed oil on his body and walked n*ked so that no one could easily hold him. All of us can no longer sleep in our houses.”

The Baale of Oke Ota community, Chief Awoyemi Tijani, told Punch that his wife also could not sleep at home because of the attacks, calling on government and police to intervene immediately.

Lagos Police PRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the command had commenced investigation into the saga.
