An elderly woman, Iyabode Olatunji, has cried out for justice after a 43-year-old man allegedly raped her 13-year-old granddaughter, Rodiyah, in their apartment located along Agbowo express in Ibadan, Oyo state.
Twitter user @AlaOluwaseun who shared the story online, said he met the old lady inside a cab crying profusely. He took her to a corner where he made a video of her narrating what had happened.
In the video, Madam Olatunji who spoke in Yoruba, said her granddaughter goes about selling kerosine.
She said each time her granddaughter goes to sell Kerosine to the accused man, he would ask her to go into his apartment to help him bring something. When there, the accused would lure the granddaughter with N100 and then forcefully rape her.
