Nigerian skit maker Olamide Ogunleye, known professionally as Oluwadolarz, shared on Instagram how he was sexually abused at the age of six by a female neighbor, whom he identified as Aunty Ramota.

He explained that the abuse lasted for a year, during which he was too young to understand or confide in anyone:

“When I was six, I lived with my grandma because my mum was still in nursing school. Ramota was always at home, and whenever I came back from school, she would take me to the backyard and do all sorts of things. It messed up my life, my sex life, and many other aspects I can’t even describe. The impact of that abuse is unforgettable.”
