While Lolo did not disclose extensive details about the incident, she mentioned her apprehension about potential criticism for not speaking out sooner, underscoring the difficult position survivors of s£xual assault often find themselves in.
She said: “I hardly ever say this, and I am not even ready to tell the full story. The stories of s£xual assault. When I discussed it with my daughter yesterday, she held my hand and said, ‘Mummy, you’ve gone through so much.’ And I said I had.
“I remember how many of those things I have to relive. I have been rap£d only once in my life, and I was rap£d by a colleague. I see him every other day. Do you know how traumatised I am? When I see him, I just get into this momentary panic.
“But if a woman of my calibre named him, he’s an established person in the broadcast industry, won’t people say, ‘How come I didn’t speak about it for all these six years until now that he’s taking a prominent TV position?’
