Girl, 17, Jumps Down Multiple Storey Building In Lagos To Escape Facebook Rapist

17-year-old Ada NBA Agbazue, recently escaped being raped by a Facebook lover turned rapist.
She reported jumped down multiple storey building in Abule- Ajanloco area of Lagos.

In a recent interview with Daily Mirror, she narrated her ordeal saying her assailant intended to kill her for ritual purpose after forcefully raping her. She also recounts how she was lured into the abandoned storey building on December 26th, by the man she met on Facebook.

Hear her; " My being alive is a miracle and I am grateful to God. With what I saw in that room, that man can be a cultist, he can be a ritual killer. He told me that he is a Buccaneer.”

"One day my phone rang and a man said he wanted to speak with me. I don’t know how he got my number but he told me that it was from my Facebook page but he is not my friend on Facebook. He told me his name is Michael but he is not any of the Michaels that I know.

" “I did not see any harm because he said we should meet at the Ile -Nla Bus Stop which is a busy place. When I got to the bus stop, I noticed he was looking at my picture on his phone. He looked up to see my face. He was standing opposite the road.”

Ada said she became alarmed at first because, the man did not look like the Micheal she knew on facebook. At that point, she hastily pointed out that she does not know him.

“He touched me and immediately, I lost my senses. I started following him. It was just him, no other person was with him. He is a young man around 24 or 25 years old. “He told me that he is staying with his mum and brothers in the uncompleted building and they have neighbours.
He told me that they live in the uncompleted building (an 18 floor abandoned Federal government building). She explained that this was about 4.30 pm, that day."

 “As we were going inside the building, I saw a lady coming out from the building. I saw passers-by and people playing ball. When we entered, he took me to the fourth floor and we entered a big room.

“I saw clothes. He told me that even the other side has neighbours. “When we continued climbing up the stairs, I told him that I was tired but he pleaded with me. At the walls, I saw some strange diagrams, cultists diagrams painted on the wall. “I saw a human head by the wall. The head is not fresh but the head has long weave on (attachment) on it . I was scared when I saw the head. I wanted to go back but he brought out a knife. I was kind of scared but not too scared. He ordered me to keep climbing up into the wider room,” narrated the girl.

Continuing her narration, the girl said she saw lots of cultist diagram on the wall.

“I moved away and he told me to start pulling off my clothes. I told him you are not my husband so I cannot pull off my clothes for you; he told me that I was proving stubborn but I continued to beg him, but the more I begged him the more he used the knife to threaten me. “He said if he calls his friends, it will be too much for me” 

Micheal started making calls. According to her, the man said she should not try to escape. Now desperate, he moved towards the window for an escape. She tried to climb by holding a pole that she saw and he held her hand" trying to prevent me from escaping.

I used my other hand to push him and that was how I fell to the ground,"

Ada is currently lying at Ilemba Ajangbadi Hospital, where she's being treated for multiple fractures and injuries sustained from the fall.
