A 16-year-old girl, who was
allegedly impregnated by her
father, has narrated how the
randy man administered oath
of secrecy on her before he
deflowered her. She also
narrated how the suspect,
Sunday Olanrele, used
payment of her school fees as
a bait to turn her to a sex
object.
She said: “I thought he was a
good father. He gave me
kolanut to eat and said I
would die,if I revealed the
secret. So, he started kissing,
and caressing me and later
deflowered me. When blood
started gushing out from my
private part, he used
pampers to cover it. I did not
tell anyone because of fear. ”
The victim, Bola (not real
name) disclosed how her
mother told her to go and
bring her school fees from
her estranged husband,
before he took advantage of
it to have canal knowledge of
her. “When I went there, my
daddy started doing it again.
He kept promising to give me
the school fees. I ended up
staying with him for many
months and he was making
love to me severally. ”
The last straw that broke the
camel ’s back was when she
spent seven days with her
father five months ago.
“ He slept with me all
through and when I got home,
I wanted to tell my mother
but I was scared. So, I kept
quiet, ” she broke down in
tears. The embattled girl
also disclosed how her
parents were estranged
while her mother re-married,
attributing it to her present
ordeal.
According to her, their
mother did not visit them for
five years, while she
(victim) was denied the
opportunity of visiting her.
It was when she wanted to
commit suicide by drinking
battery fluid that one of her
aunties took her and her
younger brother to Ikorodu,
Lagos State. It was also from
Ikorodu that she went to her
father’s house. “While I was
in my father’s house, he
brought out a calabash and
kolanut and told me to swear
an oath that I would not
divulge what he was about to
do with me. ”
She explained that when her
monthly menstrual circle
ceased, she did not bother to
disclose it to anybody. But
her mother was said to have
got information about the
pregnancy and took her to a
pastor, where she spilled the
beans. The pastor was said to
have given her assurance
that she would not die, if she
disclosed what transpired
between her and her father.
“I told him that my father
was responsible for the
pregnancy, ” she said.
The victim’s mother (names
withheld) told Daily Sun she
suspected a foulplay
immediately her daughter
came back from her father ’s
house. “I started perceiving
offensive odour and asked
her if she visited someone
else, apart from her father
and she said no. I called the
father on phone and inquired
the time she left his house
and he told me. I reasoned
that if she had gone to
another person ’s house, she
wouldn’t have got home the
time she did. From there, I
knew something was wrong,”
she said, fuming.
The woman disclosed that
she later brought a magazine
and showed her a story of
where a father impregnated
his daughter.
“She was devastated after
reading the story. That was
when I knew that the father
had done something
abominable. ”
Few weeks later, the girl
started showing pregnancy
symptoms. “I took her to the
hospital for pregnancy test
and it indicated that she was
four months pregnant. I
requested to know who was
responsible and she refused
to tell me, ” she said.
That was when she took her
to the pastor where she
opened up. The angry mother
said she was now faced with
the shame associated with
the stigma on the family.
“I’m confused, I am ashamed
of the stigma. The pregnancy
is over five months now. So,
abortion is out of it. I ’m in a
dilemma now. I can’t procure
abortion of five months old
foetus, ” she lamented.
The suspect, who admitted
committing the crime, said he
didn ’t know what came over
him that made him to
deflower his daughter.
“I think, it is the devil’s plan
to destroy me. I know it is an
abominable act. I ’m sorry, I
regret my action. Nigeria
police and my estranged wife
should forgive me, ” he said.
