Ayo, expressed her bitterness and disgust blamed the government for posting corps members to remote areas.
Ayo wrote, I got the greatest shock of my life today when I was almost raped by an Okada man.
“I got dressed up left my house heading to the Secretariat in another community not up to 30kms away from my PPA, b4 I enter d bike the man said he wants to use the bush that he is having running stomach then I agreed and waited when he was done we left getting to some point around 4kms he stopped and said he wants to use d bush again.
“Not wasting much time he came back started asking me, how much am I paying? I told him it’s a fixed price now that’s not what we should argue ab0ut when he insisted I said it’s #300 which is the normal price we pay.
He said if I don’t have money he has to take advantage of me using the “f” word then I got scared, tried running away.
“He ran after me got me and I engaged him in a fight with him because I had no choice, then he dragged me and pushed me down to the bush corner started rough handling me, hit my lips with a blow I started bleeding from the mouth, he tore my uniform.
“I was only shouting Jesus Jesus save me save me then at a point he left me and drove off with his bike. I just believe that God intervened in my battle because I see no other reason why he would have left me not accomplishing his aim to rape me and didn’t collect my phone or any belongings.
