Excepts
How
did the incidence of January 12 2014 happen. It was reported that you
were caught in the dining room of a house in Magodo, and the owner of
the house met you there with suspicion that you are there for the wrong
reasons. Can you shed more light on the story?
That day I
wanted to take my clothes to dry-cleaners. Meanwhile my younger sister
had told me earlier that she was not feeling fine. I now planned to go
her place after dropping my clothes. I told my friend whom I was putting
up with in Ketu that I wanted to go to Bariga to see my sister.
That
day I also wanted to go to church but I didn't know what happened to
me. I just decided to forget about church. As I wanted to board a bus to
Bariga, something told me to cross to the other side of the road and
take keke NAPEP going to Magodo. That was how I boarded the keke going
to Magodo with my bag, clothes and four keys on me. On getting to
Magodo, I saw a house and went there straight. I didn't see any gateman
there. I opened the door because it wasn't locked. I entered the house
and slept off in the dining room. That's all I knew till one man just
woke me up.
He started interrogating me, asking me a lot of
questions which I could not answer. He didn't accuse me of coming to rob
or steal anything but he only wanted to know who i was looking for. But
I didn't know what to say because everything was like a mystery to me.
He said i should go first. As I wanted to step out, he instructed the
security men there not to allow me move an inch. They were all shouting
Thief! Thief!!.
Immediately he picked his phone and called his
brother, telling him he met a strange woman in the house when he came
back from church and when he was leaving the house, he locked the door.
So he was suprised when he found me in their dining room. How did she
enter? He started saying a lot of things, I was trying to explain to
them that I didn't use any key to open the door, I just entered and sat
on the dining table and that was how i slept off.
I told them I
was also confused, I couldn't explain how I got to their place. That was
the time I began to realize i was at the wrong place. Then when the
owner of the house came, he also started interrogating me, he said i
should confess the person that sent me.
He asked whether I was
sent to kill him. He thought I came with fetish things, and I said no.
He said I should just confess. He even said maybe I was sent to kill his
wife. He never accused me of stealing. As he was saying all of this, I
was pleading, telling them i wanted to give my clothes to the
drycleaners. They asked of the person's name and I told them Bisi. And
they checked my phone and found her number. When they called her to find
out, she told them she didn't say Magodo but Maryland. That was how
they said I was not saying the truth, that I didn't want to expose the
person that sent me. Before I knew it, one guy just hit me in the head
with a club. That's all I knew.
By the time I regained
consciousness, they had invited my friend. When she came, she was
shocked to see me in that state. She was screaming. Those people now
concluded that they would take me to the police station but before then,
they took me to a private hospital to get me treated. When we got to
the police station,they started drilling me and I explained the way I
explained to them at the house. They asked the owner of the house if I
stole anything, he said no but the way they found me in the house was
suspicious. He said maybe I was sent by somebody on a diabolical
mission. Their pastor also came and I explained the whole thing to him
also, he prayed for me. He said my problem is spiritual. He said God
wanted to deliver me that's why I came to that house that day. But now,
my problem is over. That's how I was asked to go.
Yetunde who
says she is currently in a relationship said despite all the
embarrassment this has caused her, her man has remained by her side all
through.
