Hepzibah Olokode
The latest gist reaching us as A journalist identified as Hepzibah Olokode has shared her touching
story of survival and miraculous escape from alleged rapist who tried
to ruin her life. Her story is a touching one that will motivate and
inspire many out there.
She wrote:
"A lady has narrated how she successfully completed her
postgraduate program despite encountering some challenges including
almost being r*ped by two young guys. The lady who lost important school
materials in the incident revealed how she miraculously escaped her
attackers and also completed her school work .
"I didn’t feel like pursuing a postgraduate program because my
dad died 2 months prior to the admission exams. 16 of us were admitted
out of about 200 that wrote the exams and we began lectures. Then I
started my dissertation. I spent five months writing, submitting,
correcting and re-submitting Chapter One.
"2 weeks to submission and defence, the unexpected happened.
Due to fuel scarcity, getting transport out of campus was hard so I had
to walk home. On my way, I saw 2 guys. My first thought was to dash past
but then I figured they could easily push me into the lake nearby. As I
turned to go back, another guy cornered me and before I could blink he
ripped off my bag and said, “I just want to have s*x with you, that’s
all.
"Nothing more. Just cooperate. Don’t worry, I have condoms.
Just allow me. I will give you your bag back.” “Oh God”, I prayed. But
this guy was not ready to let me go. He kept tugging at my trousers. We
were in the sand, rolling and pulling. I struggled and tried appealing
to his senses, at least so he could lose some grip and I could run.
Noticing I wasn’t going to give in, he decided to strangle me.
"He shouted, “Shebi, you are stubborn? I will kill you. You
will die today.” As he strangled me, I just heard myself shout, “I will
not die but live.” He lost his grip and I took off. I ran into a group
of students who helped me. Unfortunately, my attacker had disappeared
with my bag containing a friend’s laptop, the hardcopy of my
dissertation and several valuables. Because I finished printing late, I
did not back up my work.
"I informed my department and was given 2 months to rewrite my
dissertation and then defend. The near r*pe and death experience took a
great toll on me. My mind became a battle field but a few friends and my
family encouraged me. I started the dissertation all over and
submitted. A new date was scheduled for the defence. My defence was
successful and I even snapped selfies with my examiners. Ain't God too
good?."
