A former student of Olashore School in lloko-ljesha, Osun State identified as Obiamaka Azubike has started a petition on change.org, calling for justice over the alleged sexual abuse she suffered from 13 of her classmates.Currently undergoing therapy, Azubike said she is seeking redress and has written the school authorities with certain demands.
Her petition which has garnered over 1,400 signatories was titled, “Olashore International School must address covering up my sexual assault at the age of 16.” Her petition reads, “Please help me get Justice as we cannot continue to normalise Rape Culture. My name is Obiamaka Chidinma Azubike and I am a daughter, sister, aunt, niece but also a sexual assault and rape survivor which unfortunately has insidiously cast dark shadows over the core of who I am. I am currently in therapy, so I am getting the required help to overcome the negative effects of my experiences.
“I was sexually assaulted by 13 of my classmates at the age of 16 in May 2004 while a student at Olashore International School . In the years, that followed the initial assault, I suffered and without a supportive family system, I would be dead as I contemplated suicide a lot of times as it felt like a way for me to get some respite.
“My story is not unique in some ways especially in Nigeria as at least 1 in 4 women in Nigeria are victims of Gender-based Violence before the age of 18 .
