A 12-year-old girl (name withheld) has contracted the dreaded HIV/AIDS disease after she was allegedly raped by her 25 year old step brother, Abdullahi Mohammed and his friends at her father's house in Jahi district in Abuja.
According to Daily Trust, the girl's father and mother separated and the father married another woman who already had a son from a previous relationship.
Narrating what happened, the girl said her step brother started molesting her when she was 8 years old and each time he raped her, he would threaten to kill her if she told their father.
“My father married my step mother who has a son. We were living peacefully until one night when I was lying on the floor and Brother Abdullahi came and started fondling my Bosom s. When he didn’t see Bosom s, he said he would suck them until they came out. When I objected, he raped me. He used a handkerchief to wipe off the blood that was coming out from my private part. He threatened to slash my throat if I told anybody. I didn’t tell anybody and it continued. He raped me every night; and sometimes he brought his friends, especially Ahmed along with him to rape me,” she said.
The girl said she feared she would be killed by her step brother or suffer maltreatment from her step mother if she told anyone what he was doing to her.
She was diagnosed with AIDS after her father took her to the hospital following her constant poor state of health. Doctors carried out various test on her and discovered she had HIV/AIDS. It was when her father, who was very angry, sought to know how she contracted the deadly disease, that she revealed that her step brother, Abdullahi and his friends, had raped her for four years. Subsequently, her father reported the case to the police at Mabushi and the two men were arrested. They confessed to the crime.
Police reports however shows that the case took a new twist when the two suspects were taken to the hospital and their medical reports came out HIV negative. It is been speculated that the girl's mother was HIV positive when she had her.
“She was not tested when she was an infant, and maybe she was HIV positive from birth. Her half brother confessed that he was the first man to have had sex with the victim and how she got that HIV still remains a mystery,” a police source said.
When contacted, the Mabushi divisional police officer, Chief Superintendent Ayobami Surajudeen confirmed the story and said that having gotten medical reports, the case would now be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department For more scintillating and juicy stories, follow the official Naijapals accounts On Twitter - @Naijapals and Facebook - www.facebook.com/naijapals

Omg! PMB's Govt should please urgently do something about rape and child molestation. Its becoming rampant. Father sleeping with their daughters; brothers sleeping with sisters; older men vs minors....the least are endless.There should be a policy on this with punitive measures attached to it. Govt must be able to implement it irrespective of whose ox is gored. Its so hurtful. I have read nothing short of ten cases of abuse in one week. Lord have mercy! Can people giving us this stories go extra miles in exposing the accused by writing their addresses? Some of us are so hurt that we are ready to take up the case fully since all the police obviously knows how to do is to end it by saying 'its a family affair'. Family affair my arse. Can someone please castrate that 25 year old dog who has refused to know that the victim is his sister? He deserve to die. And for women, I keep shouting it, divorce/separation is bad. And if you must do so, go with your child with a promise to return to the father when he/she is of age. The mother contributed largely to what the victim had gone through. I'm so hurt and in tears right now
