Current Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Lolu has opened up on a molestation that happened to him at the age of 5 by a housemaid his mother hired. Lolu revealed this while speaking with Big Brother during his diary session on Monday.
He talked about having to deal with the shame that came with it and not being able to talk about it till age 21.
He said “I was molested at the age of 5 by my housemaid. I didn’t inform my mother at that time because she had challenges and was trying to keep the family.
“The maid would subject me to a lot of punishment and if I refuse, I had consequences which I cannot discuss on national Tv because it is too graphic.
“I finally told my younger sister about it when I turned 21.
“I’m saying this because I want people who have gone through this kind of assault to talk about it. The right thing to do is speak about it.
“Most people don’t know they have the right not to let such things affect them negatively or positively.
“Even though I’ve come to terms with it, I remember the incident sometimes.
“I have sought therapy sometimes, but I am not ashamed or sad about it. I have dealt with it for the past 24 years so I’m fine.”
