Man allegedly rapes & impregnates 16yr old daughter in Oyo state

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 cut­
lass 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 Divisional
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.
