How I Almost Got Raped Over A Modelling Job- UNILAG Student Writes

A UNILAG student who almost got raped on Thursday has narrated her ordeal in a mail she sent in this morning. According to her, she does not know the guy in question from Adam, but just found him on her BBM contact and they got talking. He invited her for a job and went over to see him. When she got there the story changed, he just wanted s*x. Here’s her unedited mail.

Let me tell you about the night I was nearly raped. It was Thursday, 23rd October 2014, and it happened at theStudio of Olanrewaju, a 29yr old graduate Of unilag. Lanre (olanrewaju) and I met on BBM. How he got to be on my list remains a mystery. He saw my Dp and pinged to compliment it. He told me I did fit in as a model coz of my physique. 

On a normal day, I hate modelling coz of d revealing part and as a girl; I have spots on my laps due to an ailment. I told him about it and he said ushering jobs do not require revealing. He kept insisting till I decided to give his thought a chance. Perhaps ushering is my talent.

Having agreed, he told me to come on thurday that there is an ushering deal/job he has for me and less I forget, he said he owns a modelling agency. With all these, I believed he was going to be matured.

With this mind, I prepared myself and wore a long jean. On arriving, he asked us to go to his second studio, coz where I met him was his frnd’s house. ( All this happened in surulere).

On getting there, he started his rubbish. I remember he was manipulative - he tried to be very

charming but there was something very creepy about him; when I didn't respond to the charm, he sulked and I thought that was the end of it.

But a moment later he came honier I guess. He said he went to an army school, that there is no way am going to leave or shout for rescue coz his studio is soundproof. He said a kiss would make him release me. I knelt like an humbler (pardon me) begging him, OMG. Have never begged like this before. I was the humblest girl on earth that night. He said a kiss would earn my release.

I gave him a kiss out of desperation and fear. This dude still wanted more.

Then he started telling me stories of how I would need to sleep around to make it in life. He went to the extent of using celebs that did sleep around before they got to their current fame state. While he was saying this, I was praying to God for a miracle. 

Immediately he finished his blabbing, he went to the other room prolly to get condom I can't say. Immediately he went in, I dashed for the glass sound proof door. Searching the environment, I saw 2 guys and made hand signals to them by banging the door and shouting. 

This caught their attention and my rapist became scared. He came out from the room to open the door for the two men outside. He told them that I was his gf that everything is okay; he even told them I just gave him a kiss. As I saw dat this 2guys were going to agree and not listen to me, I ran out, my hand broke the glass I guess. 

I dashed for the short fence, flew over it (thanks to those adrenalines) on jumping, a lady outside came to my aide and I narrated all what happened to her. She also testified to the ushering/model scams of how her sister was also duped. I got to school with cuts and bruises. I narrated all thse to my roomies who decided to give the guy a call and lambast him.

 I really didn't hear all what happened on the phone because I was too tired.. I slept like a log of wood. The next day, the guy already deleted himself, then called to threaten me that he will find me if words of what happened goes out. But I didn't report it to the police. Why not? My motives were messy and confused. Was it really a crime? Actually, it was - under the Sexual Offences Act. It is classed as sexual assault, for which he could have theoretically got ten years.

Some reading this might have been a victim of being duped or raped. We all know the police can’t help but I trust the media sha. I would have loved to give out this dude address plus his friends own but I think it’s not necessary and if it gets worse I will give it out.

I want to use this medium to tell my fellow ladies to shine their eyes and not just go to any location coz of an ushering job. It’s better to be under a reliable agency than looking for direct jobs. The pay can’t even buy our Brazilian hair. Let’s be careful and may God protect us all from them wicked boys.
