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 Com
missioner 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 cut
lass 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 because 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 pater
nity 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.
