But for
God's intervention, a 14-year-old girl whose father raped her would have
committed suicide due to the act.
A 14-year-old girl has narrated how her own father raped her twice,
taking away her virginity in the process, saying she felt humiliated and
contemplated committing suicide as a result of the sordid act.
The girl, a Senior Secondary School 1 student of Araromi Isoju
Grammar School in Ikorodu, Lagos State, was pouring out her heart after her
father, Adeboye Waheed, 48, was arrested by operatives attached to the Zone 2
of the Nigerian Police, Onikan.
The rapist father on
his part, blamed the devil for his action, as well as some strange influence
that fell on him, making him to rape his own daughter.
The evil deed came to the fore after the girl who lived with her
father, step-mother and four siblings on Adama Araro Street in Ikorodu, could
not take the sexual assault any longer and ran to a near-by church to report
what she had been going through in the hands of her father.
“My father started checking my private part,
to check if I have started mensuration in 2014. On a particular day in November
of the same year, I was sleeping on the floor of our one room apartment in the
night, when he removed my rapper. My step mother was not around that day.
He used his fingers to touch my private part
and asked if I was menstruating. He also asked me if anybody had ever had sex
with me, I said no. He said he would use his penis to test me to confirm the
truth.
That was how he forced his ‘manhood’ into me
and covered my mouth not to shout.
From that time, I started bleeding till
morning when I became weak and he did nothing. He warned me not to let anybody
know.
On March 5, this year, he called me into the
room and asked me to remove my clothes. He put on condom and had sex with me. I
felt very bad inside me but I could do nothing. I even thought of committing
suicide.
The next day, I packed my belongings and ran
away from the house to a near-by church. I really felt humiliated. Before I
left, I threw away all the condoms he bought and dropped a note that he should
not look for me.
At the church, I narrated what happened to me
to them and they took the matter to the police."
The incestuous father, while being paraded before journalists,
pleaded for forgiveness, claiming that a strange influence came upon him and he
did not know what he was doing.
“Please police, journalists forgive me; I
don’t know what came over me. I have been beaten thoroughly by Oodua People’s
Congress (OPC) boys; that is why my eyes are swollen."
