Atanda said, “On that day, I was just passing by to collect cashew and dogonyaro leaves to treat myself. The girl said I should help her lift her bucket of water she fetched from the well. In the process, I heard one woman shout, ‘Everyone come oo! Come oh! He is raping my daughter.
“I did not have canal knowledge of her because I had an operation near my private part and I cannot have sexual intercourse now.”
