Recounting her ordeal, the victim said; “It was a Monday afternoon. I was in the shop when he (Tope) called me to bring ‘Pure Water’ to his room. He has been alone throughout the weekend. I never knew he had such plan in mind.

“After giving him the sachet water I was about moving out when he (Tope) suddenly grabbed me. I tried to resist but he was more powerful than me.

“He pushed me to the bed and covered my mouth with a pillow. I tried to shout so that other tenants around could come to my aid, but nobody heard my voice.”
