‘How I was almost raped in my hotel while on my birthday vacation in Zanzibar’- Nigerian lady
A Nigerian lady, Zainab Oladehinde, has narrated how close she came to being raped in her hotel room in Zanzibar, Tanzania while she was on a vacation to celebrate her birthday.
Zainab, whose birthday is April 17, in a Twitter thread, said she arrived in Tanzania on April 16, 2021.
She disclosed that on the night of April 17, a day to her birthday which was April 18, a man found his way into her room which she was certain was locked, and attempted to rape her.
Zainab said her whole life flashed before her as she imagined the man raping and then killing her and disposing of her body in the body of water in front of the hotel. She stated that her saving grace was that she feigned being an HIV patient and that she would allow him to have sex with her if he wore a condom.
Zainab stated that the man left her hotel room and promised to be back with a condom. She said this was the opening she needed to run away from the room. She stated that the hotel staff tried to cover up the incident and accused her of lying.

This was 3pm already. This day was my BIRTHDAY. My friends and family back in Lagos didn’t know all that was happening to me in Zanzibar. I was so frustrated, sad and scared. How could the police do this to me? How could the hotel do this to me?
