Popular actress and filmmaker, Iyabo Ojo has revealed rape ordeals she under went as a 14 year old. The beautiful mother of two made the revelation in her vlog, explaining her ordeal, she opened up that the first time she was raped, it was in her aunt house. Traumatic as the experience was, she said she couldn’t tell anyone then because rape was more like a taboo, hardly spoken about.

 “It’s not something I enjoy talking about, but I just feel it’s time for me to talk about it. I have been raped before” she satted. Not once, not twice; I was raped five times. Trust me when I say it wasn’t easy. The first time I was raped, I was 14. It happened in my aunty’s house. I didn’t tell anyone about it then because it was more like a taboo. I opened the door. I allowed the person come in but I didn’t know it would happen at the end of the day.

When it happened, I was scared because the person in question had threatened me. He also begged me. I felt it was going to cause a whole lot of drama so I kept it to myself. That person kept coming back to tell me that he did it because he loved me. At a point in time, I think I actually believed that lie”.

Recounting her third rape experience, she said: “My third experience was orchestrated by a neighbor. We lived close to each other. My other experience was done by a friend to my first boyfriend but much older than him. I never knew he had such intentions

Iyabo Ojo added that her fourth rape experience happened while she was married with two kids in her husband’s house. According to her, “the other one happened after I got married to my husband and had my kids, then we moved to Ikeja.”

“I was raped by one of the armed robbers who came to our house. It is not easy to talk about rape. No matter how much you talk about it, you have to realise that it is painful, but you are not alone,” the actress added.
