A 13-month-old baby girl, simply identified as Princess, was defiled in Lohims Academy, Ojota, Lagos state.
Princess came back from school, Lohims Academy Ojota, on Monday, July 4, 2022, with bruises, swellings, blood stains and whitish deposits around her vagina and thigh, according to the victim’s mother, Mrs. Mary.
It was gathered that Princess was taken to Oregun Primary Health Care, on Tuesday, July 5, who examined Princess and confirmed that she has been defiled and her hymen was not intact.
However, when the mother of the victim returned to Lohims Academy, where the incident took place, the school authority flipped, claiming that Princess just had diaper rash.
Princess’ parents was referred to Ojodu Primary Health Care (PHC) by the school authority, claiming that there was an agency there that handles defilement.
On getting to Ojodu PHC, the victim’s parents was told that no such agency exists there. However, one of the doctors on duty examined Princess, and confirmed that she had a broken hymen after medical examination.
Another doctor was called, who examined and confirmed also that Princess was defiled.
Surprisingly, upon hearing the name of the victim’s school, the doctors changed their narrative, and claimed that Princess just had diaper rashes, according to reports.
However, when Princess’ parents challenged the doctors at Ojodu Primary Health Centre, they were given Laboratory Request Paper (LRP) to run some tests in their laboratory.
The laboratory official requested for payment for the tests but Princess’ parents made them to understand that the doctor already told them that the do not need to pay.
It was gathered that the laboratory official claimed that they do not have rape kit available in the clinic, however, he gave the Princess’ parents some supplements, antibiotics, and HIV-prevention medications for Princess.
Princess was taken to another hospital in Falomo, Lagos state, where it was yet confirmed that Princess was defiled, according to reports.
However, the sperm evidence was no longer available, because the incident was more than 48 hours old.
When Princess’ mother called the proprietor of Lohims Academy, the proprietor reportedly accused her that she was making up stories to tarnish the image of the school.
Meanwhile, earlier on the day of this incident, Monday, July 4, 2022, when Princess’ mother went to drop her off at school, she was told that she could not go into the school premises, because the security guards have taken the baby girl to the crèche.
It was gathered that when Princess’ mother came to pick up her daughter from school later that day, she was not allowed into the school premises again.
The victim’s mother reportedly had to lie that she needed to use the restroom, just to gain access into the school premises.
Since the abuse, Princess has been critically ill, according to reports.
