"We were not sexually molested"- Abducted schoolgirls from Babington Macaulay School recount their experience




The girls identified as Timilehin Olosa, Tofunmi Popo Olaniyan and Deborah Akinayo are students of of Babington Ma­caulay Junior Seminary, (BMJS), Agunfoye- Lugbusi, Ikorodu . They were held in captivity after being ab­ducted from their school on Febru­ary 29 by gunmen at about 8pm.

They were released seven days later at Imota, another town on the outskirt of Ikorodu.  The students told the police that although they were not sexu­ally molested, they were kept under inhuman condition throughout the seven-day stay in the kidnapper’s den in the creek of Adama.



One of the girls even started to menstruate and she in­nocently alerted her captors to help her out. It was gathered that the gang leader, Felix, ordered one of his members to go to town and get toilet rolls and food.

Minutes later, he came back empty handed pant­ing that their informant warned that policemen had barricaded the entire area. It was gathered that by then, po­lice detectives had traced a fisher­man who had been alerting the kidnappers on the activities of the police.

Sensing trouble, the fisher­man dived into the river and fled while he alerted the kidnappers that policemen had surrounded the whole area. Left with no choice, she was asked to sit on a log of wood while the blood dripped from her private part. They only gave her water to wash her private part regularly.


Two days after she started bleed­ing, they were bundled and dropped at Imota bridge where a fisherman who saw them, kept them in safety while they alerted the police.
