Man killed by female NYSC Member in A’Ibom was a serial rapist, He raped me in 2017- Lady Confesses

 

There is a new twist to the ongoing investigation of a man who was hacked to death by a NYSC corps member, Princess Odume Paschaline, in Akwa Ibom State last Sunday.

A young lady, Effiong Laurel Scott, has posted a video on Instagram, claiming the man (which she named Akwaowo Japhet) who was hacked to death by Princess Odume also raped her in Etinan four years ago.

Recall that on Sunday, January 10, Princess Odume Paschaline, was apprehended and also lynched by irate mob for  killing a man identified as Japhet Akwaowo. She was however saved by the quick response men of the Nigeria Police Force.

Odume, in her defense has alleged that she killed Akwaowo in self-defense as tried to rape her.

Incidentally, in a video that has since gone viral posted by Miss Effiong on Instagram, an alleged rape victim of late Akwaowo Japheth, she claims the deceased raped her in July 2017 two months after she turned 18.

Transcript of her message on the video reads:

”My name Effiong Laurel Scott and I am from Nsit Atai in Akwa Ibom state. I heard about the incident that took place here in Uyo of the girl that butchered the guy to bits and pieces. I heard about it a few days ago but I did not think much of it until yesterday.

 

“I was just scrolling through Facebook and I saw a comment on the post that stated ‘Even if it was a rape case, why would she kill the guy?’.

“That caught my attention and I went through the post and I started reading through and this was the girl’s side of the story that said the guy tried to rape her.

“I was like let me see the girl’s photo and the guy’s photo.

“As God would have it, it turns out that this was the guy that raped me in 2017, July 17th to be precise in Etinan local government.”

Laurel continued, detailing her alleged her rape experience that has traumatized her since then:

”My family and I came back to Akwa Ibom in 2012. I grew up in Maiduguri. Due to the security, insurgency and all that, we came back to Akwa Ibom state.

“My dad was transferred to Etinan and we moved to Etinan to be with him. I celebrated my 18th birthday on May 11 and this incident happened in July. I was on my way out on a bike. This guy trailed me on the bike and came to me. He stopped the bike that I was on. He got the number. This guy is actually a rapist and a killer.

“He is not just a rapist, He is a serial rapist.

 

“So this guy met me. He sounded so sound. The guy was like since you are in a haste, just give me your number. When you come back we would get to see and talk. Me too I was in a haste so I was like let me just give him my number, it’s not like I was going to pick his call.

“On my way back home, when I was on the exact spot that he met me to get my number, my phone rang and I picked up and he was like where are you?. I told him I was where he saw me. By this time, this was around 6.30 in the evening. In Etinan, by 6pm, everybody is already on their way home or in their houses. It is already late and almost dark.

“He told me to stop by a filling station. I stopped by and stood beside it. Listen to the storyline so that you would know that the whole ””jazz” thing that the girl said is true and it is realistic. It is very very true that the guy uses ”jazz” on his victims. He hypnotises them.

“He told me that he told his Aunty that I was coming by to visit him. I was still having some sense in me. I was like no I cannot come to your house, I just met you. This guy kept on convincing me. We stood on that spot and kept on convincing me. At a time I was like, Okay, let me just waste my own time, let me go with this guy.

 

“The road he entered and started taking me through was a bush track. He took me through that road and in my mind, I was like what are we doing here exactly. By the time we got into the house, the house was like a deserted place.

“So I got into the house and the moment I saw it, I said I can’t stay here. So I got up and told him I was going, maybe I would come another time. I reached for the door. Lo and behold, the door was locked.

“As I turned to ask him to open the door, this guy got a matchete and a pen knife. He told me in that girl’s exact words that he will rape me and kill me and nobody will know about it and nobody will do anything about it. Yes! Those were his exact words to me too. No single thing changed.

“I begged as an 18 year old. I begged. I cried. What didn’t I do that day. I begged him. I was literally crying.

“Fine, he still had his way with me. He had his way with me not once, but twice. To be precise, I got back home that night around 11pm. I snucked into the house, I had my bath. I cried my eyes. I cried for days.”

”The only person I was able to tell this thing to then was my elder sister. Somehow he got to know that my elder sister knew about it. He started threatening her from that time. This guy’s name is Akwaowo Japheth. That is his name. Quote me. I am the one saying it. This guy’s name is Akwaowo Japheth. I can vouch on my life that that girl did not just want to murder him.”

” The joy for me is that he died a painful death. He met his match, he met his waterloo. As in she didn’t just stab him in the heart, but cut him to pieces. She did what I couldn’t do”.

Laurel then called on any other vicitm of late Akwaowo Japhet to speak out now to save Princess Odume. She disclosed that rape is not a crime to be swept under the carpet, insisting that what happened to her still messes up her mind till date.
