“He asked me to sleep with him before he could give me N10k to add to my school fees” – Nigerian lady narrates how her childhood friend's father attempted to r@pe her

A Nigerian lady, Idara Okokon, has narrated how she escaped being r@ped by her childhood friend’s father seven years ago.

The University of Uyo graduate, who shared her story in a Facebook post on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, said the incident happened when her friend encouraged her to seek her father’s help to pay for her Language Immersion Program fees in 300 level. 

According to Idara, the father then sent his daughter on an errand, locked the main door, removed the keys and dragged her towards his room while she struggled to escape. 

When he saw that she was no longer struggling, he suggested they go have the s€x in his daughter’s room as he didn’t want to def!le his matrimonial bed.

How I escaped a deadly rape attempt

 

I remember how my friend’s father asked me to sl€€p with him before he could give me N10,000 to add to my LIP school fees. That incident made me distant myself from them.

 

For 300 level students studying foreign languages in any Nigerian university, it is mandatory that you travel for a Language Immersion Program outside your university of study. Usually, you’re expected to travel abroad or attend a language institution in your country.

 

Due to the expensive nature of this program, the University through the department would advise students to reach out to individuals, rich family relatives, NGOs, government parastatals etc for funding and support. A cover letter is usually provided to aid this process.

 

My case was no different. Before I received my letters, I had written down the names of those I wanted support from and that included my friend’s father.

 

Before I could say jack, this man rushed, locked the main door, removed the keys and started dragging me towards his room. I didn’t need a marabout to tell me that I was in trouble. 

 

I also knew I wasn’t strong enough to fight him so I needed another plan. The plan was: stop struggling, stop begging, follow like a dundee, then find a way to get the key and disappear.

 

When he saw that I was no longer struggling he suggested we go have the s€x in his daughter’s room that he didn’t want to défilé his matrimonial bed (don’t laugh please)
