Pregnant woman raped without pity is told to appease the land while rapist goes unpunished.

This is insane!

Mrs Sade Jawo, a 30-year- old pregnant woman who was raped to a state of coma inside a bush by a commercial motorcyclist in Ago Akingboye, Ondo state has been warned by the traditional ruler of Ajagba, Oba Adesayo Ajibade to carry out sacrifices of appeasement to the gods of the land or she would not survive any subsequent sickness.


Sade said she hired a cyclist at Ajagba, to take her to a farm settlement where she wanted to go and buy palm oil, but on their way, the Okada rider, Laolu Omogunwa, convinced her that he knew another farm settlement where she could get the palm oil at a cheaper price.


She decided to give it a try, not knowing that Omogunwa had a different mission.


She revealed that the motorcyclist ended up dragging her into the bush and raped her till she started bleeding and lost her pregnancy.


She said she was almost strangulated by the suspect when she resisted him, but she had to give in when she observed that he was ready to kill her and rape her dead body.

Sade who passed out for close to 48 hours was later rescued by a search party organized by her family.

Mrs Jawo revealed that the rapist took her mobile phone and emptied her purse in which she kept N150,000 that she wanted to use to buy palm oil.

Oba Adesayo Ajibade of Ajagba described the crime that befell Mrs Jawo as a taboo and sacrilegious to have sex with a woman on bare ground in Ikale land.

He added that the consequence of such act on the land were poor farm yields and famine unless the offenders made sacrifices to appease the gods of the land.

He also warned that the raped pregnant woman might not survive any subsequent sickness if she refuses to make the sacrifice.
