Female singer and television presenter, Mzbel, has recounted a harrowing rape incident that occurred several years ago.
In a conversation with Barima Kaakyire Agyemang, the presenter endeavoring to set a Guinness World Record for the longest interview, she detailed the events of that traumatic day.
According to her recollection, she was in bed when she felt a hand on her back. Upon waking up, she discovered a man wearing a handkerchief as a disguise.
Mzbel revealed that the assailants not only robbed her but also subjected her to sexual assault, dissatisfied with their initial plunder.
She disclosed that the first assault took place in her bedroom, while the second occurred in her kitchen.
“I have been raped before. I was raped by armed robbers. It was actually two people who raped me. I was sleeping in my bed and I felt somebody hit my back so hard. I woke up and I saw a face with a handkerchief wrapped around the person’s face. They asked for money and I gave them the money. I told them where the money was and showed them a few things. The person asked me to lie down on the bed, and I did. It was at gunpoint. There were about seven to eight ladies in the house. After he was done, another person also dragged me to the kitchen; he asked me to lie down, and he also raped me”, she explained to the host.
The acclaimed artist mentioned that following the incident, she sought medical attention, including consultations with a therapist.
Additionally, she revealed that the perpetrators were apprehended, although she later learned that one or both of them passed away while incarcerated.
“I visited the hospital after that and had a therapist who was speaking to me. They [armed robbers] were arrested, and a few years later, I heard they died or somebody died.
“I didn’t curse them. What they did to me was enough for them to be cursed. In my heart, I was hurt, and I wished that something terrible would happen to them or that terrible things would happen to them,” she said.
