A 42 year old man who allegedly impregnated
his 16 year old daughter in Oyo state has been
arrested by the state police command.
According to Sunday Sun , the JSS 2 student was
repeatedly raped by her own father after she'd
left her mum and gone to live with him. Oyo
State Commissioner of Police, Kola Sodipo said
on the night she was first raped, the father had
asked the victim to undress, but when she
refused and attempted to escape, he
threatened her with a cutlass and then raped
her.
The 16 year old gave birth to her father's child
on September 16th. Continue...
After the act, the raped girl reported what
happened to her step mother who didn't do
anything about it. Recounting how her ordeal
started and what transpired after, the victim
told Sunday Sun :
“I was living with my mother until 2013
when my father asked me to come and
live with him. On December 25, 2013 my
father woke me up and asked me to
remove my clothes but I refused. He drew
a cutlass and threatened to kill me if I
didn’t do his bidding. I removed my
clothes and he forcefully had sex with me.
He was the first man to sleep with me be
cause I had never had sex before then. I
reported the ugly incident to one of his
two wives who is a nurse and she
promised to ask him but I don’t know
whether she asked him or not.
“In March 2014, he did the same thing
again and I ran to the house of his second
wife and reported to her. She asked me to
swear to an oath with the Bible but I
refused since I knew I was speaking the
truth. I started sleeping in her apartment.
In April, he came and asked me to return
to his apartment to do some things for
him but I refused to go. His second wife,
however, put pressure on me to answer
my father’s call as he wanted me to do
some things for him at home. I followed
him after much pressure.
“During Easter celebration on April 18,
2014 he had sex with me again. All this
while I didn’t know I was pregnant
because I had my last menstruation in
December 2013. My stepmother suspected
that I was pregnant and took me to a
clinic at Igbeti where a test showed I was
pregnant.”
“The case was reported at the police
station on April 30, 2014 and I started
living with my paternal grandfather. I was
taken to General Hospital Igbeti, where
my mother pleaded with the doctor to
abort the pregnancy, but the doctor said
he would not do it. After I delivered the
baby and my grandmother was told the
baby looks like father, my father ran
away.”
“When the pregnancy was confirmed, the
Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and the Di
visional Crime Officer (DCO) were the ones
who purchased the baby clothes and other
things needed. They also paid the hospital
bill. I am appealing to the public to come
to my assistance and help me finish my
education. I am in JSS 2.”
The baby was delivered on September 16,
2014.
The Medical Director of the General Hospital
where the baby was delivered advised that a
DNA test should be carried out to determine
the paternity of the child but said it can't be
done until six months after delivery of the
baby.
The girl's father has been charged to court. He
was remanded in Oyo Prison pending when the
case comes up on October 24th.
