A Nigerian woman has come forward on TikTok to describe a distressing nighttime sexual abuse incident she allegedly experienced at the hands of her elderly neighbor.
She describes the event in the video post and gives tips to single women on how to be alert and avoid harassment.
She explains that she and this specific elderly neighbor have a respectful relationship and frequently engage in informal conversations without any problems.
One evening, though, after returning from a power outage to charge her devices, she tells how the neighbor unexpectedly came up to her as she was entering her house.
She felt uneasy when the neighbor touched her shoulder and started acting strangely.
He followed her, pleading to sleep in her room as she attempted to enter it.
She warns other women: “If you’re a young lady going through life alone, don’t allow anything to happen to you. You’re still going to be blamed for it.”
She detailed the night, saying, “Two nights ago, we had no light throughout, so I went out to charge my phone. I returned around 10 p.m. and entered my gated compound with my key.”
“As I was opening my door, the neighbor, who probably waited for me to come back, suddenly appeared. We talked briefly, but then he touched my shoulder and got closer, begging to sleep in my room. When I opened the door, he grabbed the door handle and I had to beg him to leave.”
Her heartfelt account has sparked concern and sympathy online, with many users flooding the comment section to share their thoughts and support.
