True Confession: I cannot do without sex daily - 10-year-old black girl

[Negro World]

A 10-year old girl who was a victim of se.xual abuse has made a
shocking confession, saying that she cannot do without having
s.ex with men daily.

She narrated how an old man, who was their neighbour at Mile 12,
Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, lured her into s.ex at seven and
since then she cannot resist having se.x everyday.

The primary two pupil said if she did not see any man to have
se.x with her in her area, she would go to a popular under
bridge at Mile 12 Lagos and beg for s.ex from touts.

She said she came from Enugu state to Lagos to live with her
aunt after the death of her father.

Her case has become so serious that she had to be referred to an
NGO, Community Health Support and Empowerment Initiative,
COHSAEI, which has taken up the challenge to rehabilitate her.

The little girl said she was lured into sex by a man she called
Baba who lived with her aunt in the same compound.

She said the man (Baba) usually called her to his apartment
whenever his wife and her aunt were not around and will put his
finger inside her private part.

“He will tell me to come back home immediately our school closes
and when I reach home he will be waiting for me to finger my
honeypot,” she narrated.

She said with time he started having real se.x with her.

She said when the man that initiated her into it moved out of
their area, she resorted to meeting other men in the area
without her aunt knowing.

She said she has become addicted to s.ex and cannot do without
it.

“When I desire s.ex and I do not see anybody to do it in my
area, I will go under the bridge and beg the touts to do it for
me,” he said.

Her predicament came when she confessed to her teacher what she
was going through after the teacher noticed some abnormal
behaviour in her. The teacher contacted her aunt who contacted
an NGO for assistance.

The programme coordinator of the NGO, Mrs. Priscilla Ingbia,
noted that her case was very pathetic because of her age. She
said her group took up the challenge to rehabilitate her because
it was clear if nothing was done urgently her future was in
danger.

She said her organisation has started the process of
rehabilitating her by carrying out series of tests on her to
ascertain her health conditions.

Ingbia stressed the urgent need to relocate her from her present
environment and start a new life for her.

She said her organisation has not been able to do so because of
the financial cost of doing so.
