To conceal the identity of the victim and other parties involved, names and location have been changed.
Please note that all STORIES you read on this blog are TRUE life events, except for the viral news culled from the Various Nigeria Newspapers and Media which i do not know personally the individuals involved and cannot verify the authenticity of the report.
And now to the story as it happened.
Sophia narrates how she was a victim of rape in the hands of a randy catholic priest who happens to be a lecturer in her university.
The priest who is from the EASTERN part of Nigeria was lecturing 100 level students a course called General Studies GS.
He lived in a 3 bedroom flat about 800 meters from the university in an area called TOWA and the catholic church which he heads had not less than one thousand flocks and also in close proximity to the university.
He was highly respected, being a Catholic priest and in his early fifties he was seen as a holy, well-put-together lecturer.
Father ANTHONY doubled as a Lecturer, Catholic priest, Mentor and Father to many, as he had no child of his own.
He never took ''course blocking fee'' from students, sold handouts or text books.
When not in his cassock at church or at home -probably reading the bible, as one would have thought, he is modestly dressed lecturing in the classroom.
Father ANTHONY never wore expensive clothes and he drove an old Volkswagen golf.
Sophia narrates how she went to his office one faithful day to submit an assignment, on a day she will not forget in a hurry.
Words she heard didn't seem real, it may have been a dream! she probably did not hear him correctly.
Maybe he meant to say something else, who would believe Father ANTHONY just asked her to please follow him home to make his dinner.
It seemed suspicious, but she brushed it off and felt she was only being stupid thinking a highly respected, highly religious man would even have such thoughts that were running through her head.
They exchanged numbers and that was the beginning of a long road to stalking, threat and then rape!
She couldn't make it to cook for him that day, her classes ended very late and she walked to her hostel tired.
Days passed and the calls continued, he would buy her lunch in uni. he did that for a few students anyway!
Everything went on well until he started showing up every night in her hostel, calling her mobile endlessly for her to meet him at the parking lot.
Highly embarrassed Sophia will reluctantly meet him up, give excuses and send him back to his house alone.
The stalking continued, he just wanted her to make him one meal.
She could not tell her friends, no one would believe the highly respected clergy who has taken an oath of celibacy would break it on the alter of lust.
In a bid to put an end to the stalking she agreed to follow him home to make him dinner a faithful day.
He lived in a modest flat, and there was a house boy, why wouldn't the house boy cook for him, where amongst various thoughts that ran through her mind.
The kitchen was stocked with uncooked food items and the smell of freshly cooked jollof rice saturated the apartment.
Apparently, he had lured her to his house in the guise of her coming to make a meal.
She remembers the houseboy smiling sheepishly at her when she walked in, like this was a norm in the flat. The Father has brought in just another girl.
Well, the gory details should be spared, as everyone should be aware of what happened afterwards, judging from the topic of this post.
i know not everyone will support me on this, but i blame her for going home with him.
she already saw the pit, yet blindly fell into it.
