An 85-year-old man known to the Somolu community as Baba Yellow on Wednesday, escaped death at the hands of an angry mob when residents discovered that he had sexually molested a 14 year old girl(name withheld).
Policemen attached to the Onipanu police division were said to have stopped the mob action by arresting Baba Yellow and dispersing the crowd consisting of enraged mothers and petty traders.
Before the intervention of the police, the crowd had dragged Baba Yellow from his residence at George Street and booed him through the community for over an hour.
A resident who identified himself as Olamide said, “The mob stripped and were on the verge of lynching him when the police arrived.
“It was one of Baba Yellow’s neighbours who discovered that he had been sleeping with the girl. The neighbour had seen her leaving Baba Yellow’s room and he is notorious in the community for sleeping with young girls.
“The girl’s guardian was immediately informed and she raised the alarm after the girl confessed that Baba Yellow had been having regular sex with her.”
The enraged guardian allegedly marched to Baba Yellow’s house, where she engaged him in a shouting match after she confirmed from his neighbours that her ward had indeed been a regular visitor to Baba Yellow’s apartment.
A father of four grown-ups, Baba Yellow lives with his wife in a one-bedroom apartment. However, the wife who plies her trade at the Mile 2 market is usually away from home during the day.
His victim told PUNCH METRO that she met Baba Yellow at Sunday market, Somolu where she had gone to purchase some items for her guardian. She said, “He gave me some money and asked me to come to his house. When I didn’t show up, he later came to my compound to look for me. That was how we went to his room and had sex. He has been sleeping with me for a month.”
PUNCH METRO gathered that this is not Baba Yellow’s first victim. For over the 30 years he had lived in Somolu, the octogenarian was said to have served a prison term once for molesting a young girl. Sources within the Somolu community said his victims were many.
A mother, who identified herself as Mrs. Biliki Usman said, “He already has a reputation here and most mothers warn their daughters to stay clear of him. Yet he manages to always get victims. There have been claims that he hypnotizes his victims. In 2005, Baba Yellow was arrested and convicted of sexually abusing a nine-year-old girl. He served three years in Kirikiri. In 2011, he was arrested by the Alade police division for sexually molesting a nine year old too. The matter was later settled and did not get to court. There had been other countless arrests.
“Everyone is tired of him; he is a danger to young children and we just want him out of our community, forever.”
But Baba Yellow told the angry mob that he was lured by the 14-year-old girl.
He said, “Each time she comes to my house, she would undress herself and ask me to look at her breast. You can see she has been coming to me all this while on her own; she is a flirt and spoiled child.”
It was learnt that the girl had been taken to Oguntolu General Hospital for medical attention.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ngozi Braide, when contacted said, “I will get back to you when I have got the details.

#shocked. 85 years... wetin the man still dey find. and why did they blur his face? SMH
ReplyDeleteThat's how I read some funny stuff on naijaPOSE
Men!!why are they terrible both young and old and when God created them with ds thing(prick) he hd something else on mind now see ow they are using it to destroy lives up and down. old man in his 80's that all is suppose to be doing day n nite now is to seek God's face so as to enter eternity abi ow many yrs remain for him on earth but see him busy destroying his eternity God wil surely punish u.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, why is his face covered? He should be publicly disgraced as far as I'm concerned!
ReplyDelete85???? So an 85 year old man can still have erection ??? Old men loose physical strenght,sight,teeth! Use walking sticks But won't loose sexual urge# confused face.
DeleteThat old shameless cargo must be a demon! Raping kids young enuf be his great grand daughters!

This Ngozi Braide woman is a terrible person. She's almost never forthcoming on issues
ReplyDeleteI concur
DeleteLived in one rm for 30yrs? 3yrs in kirikiri, jobless goat! Retarded idiot
DeleteAbegi leave Baba make him refresh joor. He is tired of his wifes pussy!
ReplyDeleteI pity you!
DeleteOga o....this dude is cursed mehn...nothing else.
ReplyDeletethis will sadly continue until the police get their heads out of their collective assess, this man has been doing this for several years yet he has not be put on a sex offender database or being slammed in kiri kiri the neighbours not only know he is actively abusing kids without remorse but are helpless to take any action due to police incompetence..
ReplyDeleteits time to start campaigning for the police to have a proper sex offenders register and prosecuting pedophiles and sex offenders instead of settling it in house
Hmm,waitin for d finally verdict.Federal ministry of education scholarship is now on,visit www.jobgoals.blogspot.com for details
ReplyDeleteAhhhhahahaha! This is very interesting! Ladun God will bless you! When she put up the post about 3 men who raped a teenage girl your mouths were running cos he was ibo. Now what do you people have to say about baba yellow? Yinka florens oya come and defend your grandfather!
ReplyDeleteThis is not a tribal issue what is bad is bad and no other name to call it whether it is coming from Ibo, Hausa or Yoruba lets stop attaching evil to a particular tribe as far as I am concerned none is free pls be matured and lets address issues the way we shd
DeleteOk this paedophile still has the guts to say she seduced him, dang! He shld be castrated walahi. God protect pple's kids oo cos am sure their are a lot of his kind out there.
ReplyDeleteChemical castration recommended. The bastard.
DeleteChemical? He should be castrated with a bread knife.
DeleteThe man is a pedophile. Unfortunately there is no statutory age of consent in the Nigerian Laws, therefore this is technically not rape. Its unfortunate that the House of Reps and Senate has refused to make laws that will protect the female child because they are protecting their colleagues from the North who marry little girls. A sad occurrence indeed. In other clime, this man would have been jailed for a long time when he first touched a 9 year old and subsequently classified as a predator.
ReplyDeletehain ladun ikeji last time i checked the criminal code, it states 16yrs for consent in the child rights Act it states 18yrs for consent from the laws there is no way she can give consent since she is below 16 and 18. thou shall not mislead the public please check google or the nearest law firm close to u for verification. thank you

ReplyDeleteVirgin Atlantic accused of racism: lynnajade.blogspot.com
How is this rape? Baba Yellow acted irresponsibly but the girl is not blameless.
ReplyDeleteSome of these small girls in the Ghetto are rotten. I did a project there and was amazed most are willingly sexually active at age 12. They offer sex to men for as little as N500
the girl is not yet old enough to give any consent so she can't give what she doesn't have it is still rape and child abuse
DeleteProbably because they were raped by bastards like this at 9. Can't you see a correlation? I wonder what kind of project you did there. Your expressions are 'interesting'. Btw, statutory rape IS rape.
DeleteWhy is this Ngozi Braide abi na weavon still in office? She never has answers to anything.
ReplyDeleteEveryone!Plis call his number - Baba Yellow: 08058091040

Luca!!!! Sex offender data base??? Where? In this country that cannot count it's own citizens or organise proper identity card exercise for it's citizens..... We will continue to siddon and look. I weep for Nigeria.
ReplyDeletehonestly it is really sad and disheartening that useless and clueless ngozi braide is always on auto pilot same standard statement every single time funny thing is that what would it take for them to have a database and put it on a computer with the finger prints where it can be cross referenced i think private individuals need to step in because this is getting frightening
DeleteGod will punish him. He's still talking with his dirty aged mouth. He deserves to be killed. A paedophile/ child molester who has gone to jail and still continues to defile children deserves to die. I'm so angry. This is the first time i'd say this, but that mob should have lynched this fool.
ReplyDeleteMind u! It's also possible that wat hesaid about the girl luring him could be. True. U'd b. Shocked to know or see for uirselves what young girls of now can do!
ReplyDeleteBut then d baba no get shame at all. It's time for him to leave dis world.
Did the 9 year old lure him too? This bastard is doing what rapists and their enablers do best - blaming the victim. A convicted paedophile says a girl he raped lured him and you believe him. smh
DeleteWat d F*ck?? Are u for real? D haggard old senseless nonetity has been imprisoned for raping a 9 years old kid! He has a history of raping? Or does he look like wizkid to u that every little girl wants to hook up with? Jeeeeez! Ur comment is so annoying!
DeleteSome peeps can be so damn heartless! I can bet that if it were to be ur sister! You wouldn't say that crap you just said!
How can he be raping her for over a month, and she's the one who goes to his house? This isn't Rape, its sex with a minor
ReplyDeleteWhich is called statutory rape, ignoramus.
DeleteGbam
DeleteLet me hide my number and call baba yellow!
ReplyDeletelolll @hide ur number! chicken!
DeleteBaba yellow has been flashing me o! I don enter! Hei! I forgot to hide my number!
DeleteFlashing you? Didn't you speak with him? How did your conversation with him go?
DeleteI hope they lock him up for good....I still think parents shld start engaging their kids in sex education as soon as they are old enough to play unsupervised or run around. Ifeneme!
ReplyDeleteMy people, as una dey enjoy gossip,pls remember to out time for the Word of God today. Every second you spare for God in ur life is a spiritual investment.
