Here's what she said;

“Last year, when Busola Dakolo raised her issues with Fatoyinbo, I stressed the importance of us listening to stories of r*pe survivors. 

“I had my experience when I was 10years old, one night after my mother brought one of her relatives from her hometown to help the house. 

“Because we were children, we usually sleep in the same room then. I was on the bed with one of my aunties, my brother was on another bed and this young man was sleeping somewhere near our bed. 

“In the middle of the night, he started pulling my bed sheet. Initially, I thought it was a mistake but he continued to pull the bed sheet and I would pull them back. 

“The third time, I decided to wait and see if he was doing it on purpose. Lo and Behold, he pulled the sheet totally off me. At that point, I asked him what he was doing and he responded with ‘kosi’ (which in English means nothing).

“The next morning at 6am, I told my mother what happened to me that night. By the time I came back from school that afternoon, my relative was already gone. That was my mother’s relative.

“What could have happened to me if I had told my mother and she said ‘shut up, how dare you?’ It meant that her relative could have proceeded to do something else with me another day. So, we need to listen to our children.”
