Nigerians have expressed disgust and anger over the death of a 12-year-old girl who died after she was raped and a condom was left in her by her rapist.
Karen-Happuch Aondodoo, a pupil of Premier Academy in Lugbe, Abuja died from an infection caused by a condom left in her, according to medical reports.
Aondodoo was a boarding student and was allegedly raped in the school. She could not disclose the identity of her rapist before she died.
Reports say the school had remained tight-lipped over Aondodoo’s health and had refused visits by her parents when she took ill and was aided by her friends to take a class test.
“Her urine test revealed dead spermatozoa and she died early hours of Tuesday from hyperglycemia triggered by sepsis resulting from the infection caused by the condom in her,” reports allegedly say.
The family of the deceased and rights group are asking for the closure of the school and prosecution of the perpetrators of the act.
