A Facebook user, named Donatus Enyeobi, who gave an unsolicited bit-by-bit tips on how
to rape women, a young man, goes into hiding after the post
he shared on his Facebook page went viral and consequently drew the anger of
Nigerians and anti-rape advocates.
Enyeobi's action of teaching men interested in
raping ladies shocked the social media space, especially the part where he
admitted that his method has aided him in successfully raping several girls.
On Facebook, which has since gone viral, the
irascible young man wrote: "Well, for the guys that are interested, before
you rape, make sure you punch her neck first so she can be unconscious. Then it
will be easy to get into her pants. I am posting out of experience. Take it or
leave it."
As appalling as his post was, it wasn't surprising
that it went viral with the general consensus being that he be found and
brought to book.
When initially confronted, he showed little or no
remorse about the post or even the fact that he admitted to have raped several
girls using that method.
One of the appalled followers had tried to engage
him to pull down the post as it would cause more damage and breed potential
rapists in a society already riddled with several unsolved rape cases.
In a munched chat between the duo, he was told that
the post would put him into trouble but he rudely told the adviser to go and
sleep as no one knows his whereabouts and thus can't be found.
As expected, several Nigerians took to different
social media platforms to condemn his post and call for his arrest.
Lifestyle coach, Laila Mathew St. Daniel, who was
among theose calling for his arrest, said: "This young man's post points
to him being a serial rapist! He must be located."
Also,
anti-rape advocate, Esther Ijewere, said: "Please let's fish him out; it's
obvious that this one is not only a rapist but a beast. Please help with
details about him."
Although many joined the clarion call, credit must
however be given to Stand To End Rape (S.T.E.R) initiative, a non-governmental
organisation, for going above and beyond to track him to his workplace.
When his post went viral, S.T.E.R took up the
gauntlet and put the power of social media to test by asking people to help
identify his location so that he would be brought to book.
Tweeting from @S.T.E.R three days ago, the NGO
said: "This is appalling, help us find Enyeobi Donatus. We need his
location and contact details of his employers. Some said he works at Nigeria
Ports Authority (NPA).
"He's
not sorry and will probably rape again if not brought to book. We have to find
him now! Any information will help. Our direct message (dm) is open."
When all hope seemed lost, their search yielded
results on Tuesday when some people helped tracked him to his work place.
With the help of several Nigerians who provided
pointers, Enyeobi was traced and located at his work place where his employers-DEPASA
Marine International Nigeria-confirmed that he was on the run.
Giving an update afterwards, the NGO said: "We
met with his employers and they confirmed he is presently on the run. We will
meet again later this week to discuss further options."
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command is still
mum on the issue as they are to say if they have declared him wanted.
