A 12-year-old girl, yesterday, gave a startling revelation of how her father and his step-son allegedly took turns to rape her for seven months in Ilogbo area of Lagos.
She said it started with her father and his mistress holding her legs apart for the woman’s son to rape her.
At the moment, the victim, who was alleged to have been forced out of school while in Junior Secondary School 1, had been treated for several segxwally-transmitted diseases allegedly contracted during the said period.
Narrating how she was violated, the victim said;
But he drove me back, saying I should allow him do whatever he wanted to do with me. My father came to where I was sleeping and, with the assistance of his mistress, parted my legs and instructed his stepson to have sex with me.
The next day, after everyone had gone out, my father called me inside, locked the door and had sex with me. He warned me not to tell anyone about what happened, threatening to kill me if I did.
Since then, my father and his stepson had taken turns to rape me. At times, when I went to sell ugba at Alaba, his stepson would take me to an uncompleted building, where he would place some cartoons on the ground and rape me.”
Gistmania learned that after police and family members’ intervention, the suspect brought his daughter back home in December 2016. But her mother, who claimed to have been suspecting that all was not well with her daughter, subjected the latter to questioning, in the process of which she opened up.
The victim’s mother told Gistmania that she caught her husband with his manhood inside their daughter’s mouth when she was nine months. She said it happened again when the victim was six years.
Narrating how this latest development came to the fore, she said:
“When I asked her initially, she did not talk until I involved one of her teachers, who was taking her extramural classes, before she opened up.
When I confronted my husband, he beat me to stupor and drove me and my daughter away. We have been staying with a relative since December 2016."
Even when the matter of our missing child was reported to the police, he denied knowing where she was until December, when he said he took her to learn a trade at a relative’s.
It took the intervention of the police and some relatives before he brought her back last December.”
Asked why he took the child away from home, the suspect told policemen at the Human Right Desk, Ikotun Police Division, that his wife had a mental problem, adding that he had to take their daughter away from home to ensure her safety.
In a swift reaction, his wife described the claim as a lie, saying
She further disclosed that her husband’s action was only a ploy to chase her away from the house they both built so he can bring in his mistress and her children.
