Recall that Naijahomebased reported that 18-year-old student of Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology, Bello Barakat was raped and murdered.

The men attacked their home in Ibadan, Oyo state on Monday, June 1. As of the time of this report, they have not identified the culprits.

In an interview with BBC Yoruba, Mrs Bello begged God to expose the murderers within seven days.

According to her, she was not at home during the attack but returned home to see her daughter in a pool of blood.

Mrs Kafayat Bello recounted how Barakat made a lot of promise to lift their family from poverty and the murderers did not allow her fulfil that wish.

She said, “Only God knows how it happened. I was not at home. Some neighbours called me around 6 pm.

By the time I got home, I found my daughter in the pool of blood. I was shocked.

She took her phone to Kara for repair on Sunday and went to retrieve it on Monday around 2 pm. Some people saw her around 5 pm while returning home.

“She later went to fetch water to take a bath. Those killers had stolen some things in our room.

“They met her on their way out through the backyard and attacked her. Her younger sister, who had gone to the Arabic class, was the one that alerted the neighbours when she found her in the pool of blood,” she said.

“She made a lot of promises for me to turn our lives around because we are poor. They (the killers) did not make my daughter fulfil all her promises.

There is nothing people can do for me that would bring her back to life. But one thing I am asking Allah is whoever is involved in the killing of my daughter be exposed before seven days,” she added.

Meanwhile, the Oyo state police command says it is investigating the incident.

Barakats case is one among three of the rape incidents that have been reported in the country.

Other cases include Vera Omozuwa’s case, and the case of 4-year-old-girl raped by her 73-year-old uncle.
