Big Brother Naija 2019 housemate and British Met Police officer, Khafi Kareem said she was raped while growing up. Unfortunately, she got the blame for the offence.
According to her, she could not share the story or seek help because the only person she reported to when the incident happened, blamed her for the act.
Speaking further, she added that she decided to let go at the time and bear her grief alone because the pedophile claimed he was drunk and acted under the influence of alcohol.
Nonetheless, having grown up, Khafi said she decided to speak up just to encourage victims of rape to speak up and seek help.
Her revelation comes on the heels of the rape and brutal murder of a UNIBEN student, Vera Uwaila Omozuwa. Omozuwa’s case has been widely condemned in Nigeria.
President Muhammadu Buhari, Amnesty International, Edo Sate governor and Pastors E A Adeboye have all condemned the act and petitioned the police force to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.
On her part, Khafi bared her mind about how she was raped and blamed for the offence on her social media pages.
According to her,
Khafi called on the society to protect the girl child at all costs.
