Madam, I feel so sad reading about what you went through....but were any of these men punished for their crime? @Bunmicake
— Kareemah (@Rinsola_Abiola) October 20, 2013

@BunmicakeWhen these things happen, we are made to doubt so many things and feel helpless and hopeless...but u came out strong. ur a winner
— Kareemah (@Rinsola_Abiola) October 20, 2013

@SuperGirlTimidi @Bunmicake #breakingthesilenceI however find the idea of an apology by the culprit quite insulting. Did they go to jail?
— olabode (@omolere) October  20, 2013

@BunmicakeAm so sorry about all you went through. Rape is no joke at all. Those guys should be arrested. You are so brave and strong.
