14-year-old Miss Obiamaka Orakwue, an
indigene of Obosi in Anambra state was
on July 10th, raped and murdered at her
parents home in the Abule Ado area of
Lagos state.
According to Anambra state
online Facebook page, Obiamaka was at
home for the holidays when she met her
untimely death.
She was at home alone
when some Indian Hemp smoking boys
who had asked her out and she refused,
scaled her family's compound fence and
gained access to their apartment. They
raped her and left her in the pool of her
own blood.
Some residents living in the
area who saw the boys as they scaled the
fence out of the compound, alerted the
mother of the deceased who returned
home from her workplace immediately.
She got home to find her 14 year old
daughter with blood stains on her vagina
and gasping for air.
She rushed her to a
hospital where she was pronounced
dead.
The distraught mother, Mrs Orakwue, told
friends and family members who were on
a condolence visit:
"I was at work when I got a call from our
neighbor that they saw some boys
jumping out from the fence of our
compound and that my daughter was not
responding to the knock on the gate since
it was locked from inside. I was worried
because my daughter was the only one at
home and her other siblings were on
holidays at my elder brothers place in
Lekki.
On getting to the house, I opened
the gate with my spare key and dashed
into the room only to find my daughter
gasping for breath in the pool of her
blood.
I asked her what happened and all
she could mutter was,
"Mummy...those
boys I told you about"...,
According to Mrs Orakwue, her daughter
had complained about some boys who
had made advances towards her when
she came back on holidays from school
just recently but she rebuffed them and
they swore to teach her a lesson.
"It must have been the same boys that
took advantage of the fact that i and my
husband went to work and gained entry
into the compound through the back
fence of the house where they attacked
my daughter," she said amidst tears.
The father of the deceased Mr Obinna
Orakwue who could not hide his
emotions lamented that enough was not
being done to find out those behind the
demise of his daughter.
"We have reported the incident to the
police and they promised to apprehend
the culprits but we still have not heard
from them till date."
He described his daughter as an intelligent
student with a very bright future.
"She was meant to be in JSS 3 by the next
academic session.
We told her to join her
siblings in my in-law's house but she
insisted she wanted to stay at home to
help with the house chores especially
since I and my wife were away at
work.
Now see what has happened. I
leave it in the hands of God to judge", he
said.
Obiamaka Ngozichukwu Orakwue was
laid to rest last Friday July 21st at the
Berger Cemetery.
May her Soul Rest in Peace.
Facebook user, Okonkwo Cynthia Akuoma
confirmed that the deceased was raped.
