I got a call too around 6pm that Tuesday night, stating my job application has been reviewed & I was qualified to start working in their hotel as a receptionist.

I had posted on fb that time that I was looking for a job.

You can imagine the joy I had then.

A thread.......
I was asked to come for an interview in the supervisor's office somewhere around ketu.

I told my mum, she too was happy.

Being that I just finished my secondary school, I still depend on my parents for upkeep.

It was a big step for me.

My mum gave me a thousand naira for..
Transportation & should in case I needed to buy pure water.

When I left home I called the number asking for the description.

He sent me a text message, it was the address.

He kept calling me to monitor my journey.

When I got to the bus stop. I called to tell him I was...
Around but then I noticed a change of voice. The voice I heard wasn't the voice I have been hearing.

I asked to speak to the owner of the phone. The receiver claimed he was still the one.

I wasn't convinced.....

The voice was not the same.

But it was too late... I was
Already at the building. I have never seen this man before, so I can't say for sure how he looked.

A man walked up to & said "you must be the one coming for the interview"

I said yes, he then invited me into the building.

Now this building is more like an office. So I was
Convinced. I sat down waiting for the interview to begin. I used to have this silver necklace & I was using a curve 7 phone then.

I had my purse in my arm, a berate on my head, a leggings & a top.

The man came in DRUNK.

He greeted me & asked me few questions
In the middle of our discussion or interview or whatever that might be another man came in.....

We were on a three story building & at the top floor.

A radio was there in the office.

He went ahead to play a music & put it on the highest volume......

That was how it began.
The man that came in afterwards forcefully collected my phone & asked me to remove my necklace.

The music was too loud that even if I had screamed no one would hear me.

My cloths were soaked in water.

He said "I have been messaging you on fb but you have ignored me & even...
Threaten to block me if I don't leave you alone, na now your eyes clear"

It became clear who the so called supervisor was.
I knew I was in trouble. My cloths were soaked, my phone was collected I am not even bothered about the fashion necklace that was taken. I just wanted to...
Go home.

In what seems like an hour, someone knocked.
I was happy that I will be free.

But no. It was all still part of the plan. About 9 more guys came in & the 'supervisor' asked them to take turns in the rape.

It was a nightmare.... A very long day....
I had cursed that....
Day. I was so weak. I couldn't scream or beg anymore. I lost my strength.

My phone was used in recording the act.....until we heard another knock. This time it was the wife of the supervisor.

I saw fear in his eyes as his wife walked in. She saw me on the floor... Naked.
She asked in Yoruba "what was I doing there"

No one answered. The other guys picked their cloths one by one & was leaving.

She offered me her hand, collected my things & gave them back to me.

She asked for my dress & I pointed where it was to her.

Tears filled her eyes...
My legs were shaking. I couldn't move.

She begged me, she cried & begged me to forgive her husband.

"I just want to go home" was all I could say.

She gave me my dress. I wore them still wet.

She asked where I stay. "Shasha" I said.

She saw me off to the bus stop....
Gave me 3000 & begged me not to tell anybody.

I just needed to leave.

People were looking at us, I was wet. She was dried.
I saw the puzzle in their eyes.

My mum cried when I narrated the story to her. She cursed & cursed. I have never seen her in so much pain...

The next...
Day, we reported to the police station & my statement was taken.

I remember the place, I still have the address on my phone.

My mum asked for a minute. She went outside looked up, the sun was so hot.

Her eyes were filled with tears, she stood under the sun & played curses....
On each & everyone of them. She laid curses. I saw the anger in her eyes, I too became terrified. After she was done, she went back into the station & together we went back to ketu.

The supervisor was arrested together with two other guys.

They are still in the police....
Custody till today.

This is a true life story.
