An elderly woman, Iyabode Olatunji, has cried out for justice after her 43-year-old neighbour 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.

Madam Olatunji who also confirmed the incident to LIB said her son, Sakiru fought with the suspect when he caught him defiling his niece.
She said Sakiru and the suspect were arrested but Sakiru was tortured by the police at the Iyanguku police station.
Speaking further, Madam Olatunji revealed that the police later granted Sakiru bail in the afternoon, May 14 but doesn’t know if the alleged rapist was released as well.
When contacted, the state police command spokesperson, SP Fadeyi Olugbenga, said he is not aware of the case but will speak later when he gets all the facts about the said case.
