I was in a car visiting my uncle’s site to check the progress of work going on there. I looked through the car’s window and saw a guy standing at the entrance of the uncompleted building. He was wearing a green shirt. Just before I got out of the car, I saw another guy wearing a red shirt coming out of the building. He said something to the guy in green before he took his position. The guy in red stood outside while looking around as if something was wrong.

At first, I thought they were stealing something from the site, so instead of going straight to the site, I used the backside and jumped over the wall to the compound. It didn’t look like something fishy was going on so I headed straight into the room where I heard people murmuring inside of the adjacent room.

I tiptoed and went in there. Their back was facing me so they didn’t see me immediately. There was a girl lying on the floor and a guy on top of her while the guy in green was standing there waiting for his turn. These were young guys, between the ages of twenty and twenty-four. I picked one of the wooden planks and screamed, “Stop and stand still if you don’t want any trouble.”

The guy quickly got off the girl while the one standing there turned to face me. The girl was still on the floor with her face buried inside the pit of her elbow. They were all shaking, begging me not to harm them. I asked the girl, “Are you ok?” She was crying. I asked, “Why are you guys doing this to someone’s daughter? They were shivering and asking me not to harm them.

The guy standing outside might have heard the voices so he ran away. I asked them to kneel while I tried to lift the girl from the floor. When I turned my back, one guy ran away, leaving me with the one closer to me and the girl.

I asked the girl if she was being raped but she couldn’t talk. She was just crying. The other guy said, ”No we are not raping her. She agreed. We were going to pay her afterwards.” My attention was so much on the girl that I lost focus so the other guy also ran away.

I sat with the girl trying all I could to get her to talk. I asked if she knew the guys. She shook her head. I asked how she got into the situation and she said they forced her. I asked if she wanted to make it a police case and she said, “I don’t know them so how can I go after them with the police?”

I gave her money and gave her my contact and asked her to go to the hospital and check if everything was alright. A week later she called me. Her voice was louder and cheerful. I asked if she went to the hospital and she said no. I asked if she was fine and she said she was doing very well. And then she asked me to give her money.

She sounded so entitled it got me angry. I told her I had no money on me. Listen to what she told me, “You made three guys run away with my money and you’re telling me you don’t have money? Next time mind your business before you come destroying other people’s business.”

She cut the call after saying that nonsense.

I called back. She didn’t pick up. I called again and they said the user was busy. For three days her line was busy. Obviously, I’d been blocked.

I thought I was being a good Samaritan. What if those guys overpowered and attacked me? I would have suffered in vain? Anyway, I’ve taken her advice so I wake up in the morning, drink water and mind my business. It’s a wild world out there. We all need to survive someway somehow but if we mind our businesses, we’ll live long.
