‘They Were Manhandling Me, Pulling My Breasts And Touching My Whole Body’

 “I am from Imo State but reside in Warri. On that day, at about 5pm I went to pick up my power bank unknown to me that they were holding their festival because it was not announced.

“Immediately I came down from the bike, a lot of boys from different directions started shouting that they should hold me. ‘Hold her, hold her, na girl she be’, they said, so I tried to escape but they swooped on me like bees.

“The crowd was much and they started harassing me, pulling my clothes. They eventually tore my clothes until they stripped me naked.

“They were manhandling me, pulling my breasts and touching my whole body.

“They also took my phone. One boy later came to my rescue as I was shouting for help.

I was alone and the incident happened at a junction close to my school. The festival was not held at Gwake where I went to charge my power bank.

“I am getting better but feeling pains in my chest and breasts. On Sunday, I was told that the Commissioner of Police wanted to see me, so I went with my dad and our lawyer to Ozoro.
