The rape victim
Shocking revelations of a 12-year old girl who resides at Jahi district with her parents reveal that her 25-year-old half brother, Abdullahi Mohammed and his friends have been repeatedly raping her for the past four years.
This came after the minor tested positive to HIV. According to the statement she made to City News, her mother was divorced when she was just born and she has been living with her father in a two-bedroom public apartment (face-me-I-face-you) in Jahi district. She revealed her half brother started raping her since when she was 8-years old and each time he did, he threatened to kill her if she shared the information with her father.
“My father married my step mother who has a son," she narrates. “We were living peacefully until one night when I was lying on the floor and Brother Abdullahi came and started handling my breasts. When he didn’t see breasts, he said he would suck them until they came out. When I objected, he raped me. He used a handkerchief to wipe off the blood that was coming out from my private part. He threatened to slash my throat if I told anybody.
“I didn’t tell anybody and it continued. He raped me every night; and sometimes he brought his friends, especially Ahmed along with him to molest me,” she recounted.
The little girl kept her ordeal secret for a period of 4 years as she was scared of not getting any support at the exposure of her half-brother. As time went on, she started falling ill incessantly. Her father took her to the hospital on the advise of their neighbour and on getting there, she was diagnosed of HIV.
It was when her father, who was very angry, sought to know how she contracted the deadly disease that she revealed that Abdullahi and his friends, had raped her for four years. Subsequently, her father reported the case to the police at Mabushi, following which the two men were arrested. They confessed to the crime.

A police source told Daily Trust reporter that the case took another twist when the two suspects were taken to the hospital and their medical reports came out HIV negative.
Speculations therefore emerged that her mother was HIV positive when she had her, the reason why she was sent away by her husband. “She was not tested when she was an infant, and maybe she was HIV positive from birth. Her half brother confessed that he was the first man to have had sex with the victim and how she got that HIV still remains a mystery,” the police source said. .
