“The manager, Mr Adeleye requested that I should bring a bottle of beer to his room, after he collected it, he started to inquire from me my plan after NYSC, I was not too fine with it because we are in enclosed room, few minutes later he started touching me and I resisted pulling his hands off my body, but suddenly, he pulled me closer and turned my face on the bed and put his hands in my trouser and inserted it in my private part.

“He then pulled my trouser from behind, turned my face up and wanted to penetrate into my private part, I was resisting him. He was too heavy for me, I even bite him, yet, he carried on. I shouted on top of my voice but no one could hear me because the room was a bit far from where other members of staff are.

“He penetrated and he poured his semen on my body and pant. When he discovered that I can’t breath very well, he stood and I ran out of the room.

“The following day, two of my female corps members discovered I wasn’t playing or relating with them very well, they inquired what happened. I couldn’t tell them at first, but when I couldn’t hold the tears anymore, I told them what happened to me and they encouraged me to report the matter to the police and I did. He was later arrested and detained.”
