The victim,Chidi Okolie
“ Life has been unfair to me”. This was the statement that greeted this reporter as he approached 19-year-old Chidi Okolie, who is currently going through psychological trauma following an act of gang-r*pe on him, Monday, in Badagry area of Lagos.
Chidi, as gathered, left his home town in Izzih local government area of Ebonyi state for Lagos, two years ago, in search of greener pasture, following the demise of his parents. The death of his parents, reportedly forced him to drop out of school.
But determined to irk a living, he decided to come to Lagos, where he started hawking along the Mile two- Badagry expressway.
Along the line, he came across a middle-aged man who promised to offer him employment, an offer Chidi saw as a way out of struggle.
But he got the shock of his life , on his supposed first day at work, as he was allegedly gang-r*ped and robbed by his supposed ‘messiah’
Hear him, “ I saw Okafor Emmanuel as my messiah when he promised to secure a job for me. I had barely finished selling on Monday when he called me on phone to come down to Abule-Ado. I bought a sachet of pure water, washed by face and straightened my clothes. I packed the remaining wares into a bag and kept it, hoping to finish them the next day.
When I got to the designated place, I met Okafor with four other young men. He told me to accompany them to distribute cigarets to his customers in Badagry, informing that, that was my first assignment. We did that until 11pm and because it was late, he asked me to pass the night with him.
Gang -r*ped at midnight
But at midnight, someone tapped me on the thigh and when I opened my eyes, it was Okafor. Lo and behold, he was in his nude! He bent over and said he would want to have carnal knowledge of me. I was shocked and concluded he could be drunk.
I lied to him that I wanted to urinate and left the room . But on getting to the sitting room, I met the other four men stack naked as well. At that point , I concluded the job offer was a mere trick to harm me.
At that point, I decided to run outside . But as I attempted to, they overpowered me and tore my shirts into shreds before pinning me to the ground with each having his way in turns.
As if that was not enough, they pushed me out of the apartment that midnight, boasting that there was nothing I could do. When I checked my pocket, I discovered they had collected the N25,000 I made from my sales.
But I could not go back to my uncle’s place that night so as not to be mistaken for a thief. All I did was to collect a shirt I saw on the line and wore. I remained there until 6am before leaving.
Since the incident, he has been begging for forgiveness, attributing it to the handiwork of the devil,without bothering to find out if I was hurt.
As I speak, I am still hurting all over but I can not go to the hospital because I do not have money to buy drugs. I really do not know how to get money to start business all over again. As it is now, he has rendered me handicapped. You see why I said life has been unfair to me? He asked.
So far, Chidi did not report the incident to the Police as he claimed he was afraid he might not get justice at the end. He also feared that Okafor and his friends might carry out a severe deal against him, if he did.

Terrible. God is in control. I really wish I cud understand why people r so wicked. No iota of goodness in them. Life is too short to be mean. Wwhen u make people happy, ur happy. I know that life has changed for u.
ReplyDelete*sad face* dis gay of a thing ℓ̊Ƨ̷̜̩̌̋ getting out of hand, I hope dis guy gets justice sha. Ladun pls follow Ȋ̝̊̅†̥ up abeg U̶̲̥̅̊ fit help am
ReplyDeleteTribalistic comments are not welcome.
ReplyDeleteOMGOD gay guys rape? D world is def coming to an end! Lord hv mercy
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Words ran out of my mouth. Poor boy. I hope he heals well. What a world! I pray those idiots are punished severly.
ReplyDeleteAbomination! they have did it for some reasons, they should be Arrested to face judgement!
ReplyDeleteJazz things.
Deletehmmm and thats true! they must have done it for a purpose...i guess they re ritualists or something....thats really SAD, i only pity that boy... i wonder what help they will render for him now
DeleteHorrible. He needs to report to the police ASAP or someone who will help him.
ReplyDeleteThe wickedness of men knows no bounds. I pray God will heal this young man, help him move past this and make him successful
what really interests me in the whole narrative is
ReplyDelete1 for the guy to get psychological and medical seeing to
2.for the perpetuators to be brought to justice
if i was in a position to do no1 i would have loved to but i realistically can't do anything about it,he said that the guy apologised to him meaning they are still in contact,its time for the charities and govt agencies vested with the investigation and taking care of victims of horrific abuse of these sort to step in and get the man arrested and prosecuted
for the guy to have been able to share this with vanguard shows he has it in him to go a step further and report to the relevant authorities…
imagine how many victims they would have done this to because i am sure its not their first time..
i guess those in support of this madness called homosexualism will now have a rethink. God forbid if na me i go commit murder, broad day murder if the opportunity arises. I will look for them one after the other. Wicked bumbum fuckers. Guys raping a guy, we do thing upside down in this country.
ReplyDeleteIts homosexuality not homosexualism. And I wld not be sarcastic to ask u to thank me later. Just needed to correct it as its commonly written by many pple in many posts. I, too was repeatedly corected by my Psychiatric prof(MBBS exam) then, many yrs ago when homosexuality was taken as a sexually deviant behaviour. Not anymore, as pple now say dy are "born ds way".
DeleteWhy didn't they just do their gay thing with one another? Why rape an innocent boy?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help. Does he. Have an account number. Pls people should come to his help.
ReplyDeletei wl help him too, he has to get funds to get back to his business, but why wld u go to them wt all ur hard earned money? fools, idiots wicked souls
Deleteu v hurt that poor boy forever now
pls lets have his a/c details
i second that
DeleteDon't know why some Nigerians are so DUMP, Those that raped him are not GAYS but (MSM) Men having Sex with Men. Area boys do have sex with themselves!
ReplyDeleteThe irony of this comment is so heavy.
Delete@professor X: I tire for the comment o! Dear Anon 21:09 When "Men have Sex with Men" they are obviously GAY...PS: its DUMB
DeleteI THINK anon 21:09 is either gay or he is still in denial .his comment weakened me !!!!
DeleteThe retard threw me off @ DUMP
DeleteGod 4bid, so nw gang rape has included guys 2???? Na wa ohhhhhhhhhh. God save us.
ReplyDeleteLadun please let us stand up and do something for this boy. He is an orphan who is determined to succeed. Please let him share his bank account details. He surely needs assistance.
ReplyDeleteOmg! This is cruelty! He needs medical attention asap...I pray he's not infected wt HIV or an STD. Okafor & his cohorts deserve to rot in jail.
ReplyDeleteChidi pls how can someone contact you.
ReplyDeleteI wept as I read this. So sad! May God give him the strength to carry on. Amen. May God punish all those who raped him. Amen.
ReplyDeleteErm when did hawkers start making 20k and even if he really did. Nobody walks around with such a large sum of Money.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a small matter oo.. This boy is an orphan, no1 to fight for him.. He has to come out and these gay rapists must be put to jail.. This is exactly the same sin that closed the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah ooo.. It mustn't be allowed at all at all.
ReplyDelete*Tears* what a wicked world!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Wats d earth turning into? God help us! Ladun pls if there's anyway u can help him get justice please follow up! And gv us feedback! Imagine d pains! Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis happens to girls every day. They get tricked into men's homes and gang-raped. It is particular common on Nigerian campuses. But the incidents never make the headlines because it is ok to rape girls. I feel bad for the man but his case is not unique. Besides he was a little stupid for a 19yr old adult. How do you trust a man you met in traffic and then spend the night with him with 25k in your pocket? So daft! In Lagos of all places? He is lucky the man didn't use him for rituals.
ReplyDelete@ anon 03:10 he's not stupid u wud have done the same thing if you were approached by a girl it wudnt cross ur mind that such a thing could happen as it is not common in our society .
DeleteThere are alot of big society men involved in this unholy act ........ i dont know what naija is turning into......
That is so barbaric, the poor boy need to be help out but It is good to hear from both side, the boy said they later apologias to him ( Since the incident, he has been begging for forgiveness, attributing it to the handiwork of the devil,without bothering to find out if I was hurt)
ReplyDeletePlz share his bank details,May God help us
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy, so guys now rape guy, as in gay rape, God have mercy, its surely an end time! This innocent boy need help, let's have his account no, even if it small let him start sm tin in order not to fall in to temptation with this same sex guys. Lord have mercy on us!
ReplyDeleteNo be account number matter na. Ds boy nEeds psychological counselling. I hope he doesn't suffer from something 2 post traumatic stress syndrome(ptsd). He also needs justice against those faggots but which NGO handles such cases? Abi na human rights commission he will go. After dt, then he can be resettled back into his business. Sad, pathetic story. I pray God heals him completely from ds psychological trauma. Problems of d mind are d worst o!!
ReplyDeleteLadin should investigate the authenticity of the story before posting his account number pls
ReplyDeleteIgbo ppl don cum again o o o o!!!smtcheeeeeeeeeew!.....yinka florens
ReplyDeletena your family now. your husband and sons.
DeleteBastard yoruba geh!
Deletethe South East seem to project an image of a zone where life means very little from Orkija Shrine, Otokoto, Bakassi Boys,The Uba Brothers, and now this! Mystery: 50 Bodies Found Floating On Anambra River and now they have added another cap, anus fuckers smh
DeleteDear Yinka florens,
DeleteYou are quite a disgrace to Yoruba people. Have you no shame? Please if you have nothing better to say, shut your mouth. A young boy got molested here and you are calling out the tribe. Anyone from any tribe could have done this. We don't need idiots like you pointing out the tribe. Don't bother trying to insult me - a causeless curse won't work. Btw, I am a Yoruba girl. Ladun post my comment o. This yinka florens person needs to read it.
thank you jare anon 21:38 .... I'm yoruba and I disapprove of yinka floren's comment
DeleteI think the best thing would be to ignore this Yinka Florens fellow cos these constant tribalistic comments sound like a cry for attention!
DeleteVanguard! Vanguard!! Vanguard!!!
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't "irk" a living, you "eke" a living...and it's "stark" naked NOT "stack" naked...SMH
Yinka Florens you are big coward, stupid woman. Y you marry Igbo if you are such a tribalistic coward
ReplyDeleteIf this is his pic, he is cute that must b y Okafor got attracted 2 him. Poor boy! He would b so scared of men now. I wish him speedy recovery
