According to Aisha, she had gone to the shop for her usual training when heavy rain began to fall. Seizing the opportunity of their isolation, the situation turned predatory. She alleges that Ibrahim Rawi suddenly locked the door of the shop, trapping her inside.
The situation escalated rapidly. Aisha stated that Rawi threatened her life, brandishing a pair of scissors and warning that he would kill her if she resisted. Paralyzed by fear, she was then subjected to a violent assault.
“He forcefully removed my clothes despite my resistance and sexually assaulted me,” Aisha recounted in a calm but firm tone, recalling the horror of the experience.
Summarizing her ordeal, she said, “As an apprentice, I go to the chemist to understudy the business. Unfortunately, on Sunday when it was raining, he closed the door, threatened to kill me with scissors, forcefully removed my clothes and sexually assaulted me.”

The video evidence presents a firsthand testimony that authorities will likely use as a central part of their probe. The case now puts a spotlight on the Plateau State police to ensure a transparent and rigorous investigation to ensure that justice is served for Aisha Haruna.
