Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim has narrated how she was locked up and subjected to rape daily by her former boyfriend.
The actress who is very popular in Nollywood shared her ordeal with an abusive partner in a chat with media entrepreneur, Chude Jideonwo.
Ibrahim said her ex-lover would often force his way with her and lock her in for days. She, however, did not reveal the identity of her former lover.
She expressed;
I told him what he did was rape and he said but we were in a relationship. But was I ready, that was the question, did I say I was in the mood? I kept saying no, stop it, stop it, you pin me down and you’re doing whatever you wanted to do and you’re smiling saying don’t worry. And you’re kissing whilst I’m crying, that means you’re a rapist and I had to leave that relationship.
Ibrahim further stated;
I fought my way out of that relationship because he even locked me up in his house for days until my sister Sonia came to find me. I was scared, uncertain of what to do because this guy was huge and taller than me. He can raise you above the wall. And just imagine that it was every day. Every day, he wanted to do something. That is rape.
She added;
You’re naive. Who do you go and tell? Who would come and fight for you? But ladies you can report it now, go and report. If your husband is forcing you to do when you’re not in the mood it is rape and I tell these men that you cannot force a woman.
The actress added that before she dates anyone she must ask questions to know the man’s mindset.
