A 48-year old man, Adeboye Waheed has been arrested by the Lagos state police command for defiling his 14-year-old daughter (names withheld) to ‘confirm’ her virginity status at Adama Araro Street in Ikorodu area of the state.
According to the victim, an SS1 student of Araromi Isoju Grammar School in Ikorodu, who lived with her father, step mother and four siblings, she was defiled twice by her dad with a condom.
She said the father defiled her the first time in November of last year by asking her to remove her wrapper while she was sleeping on the floor of their one-room apartment in the night. The step mother was said to be away.
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, he removed my wrapper. 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’ on me and covered my mouth not to shout.’
The victim describes the sordid and painful events.
‘From that time, I started bleeding till morning when I became weak and he did nothing. He warned me not to let anybody know.’
The victim said her father repeated the act on Thursday, March 5, 2015.
She continued, saying:’I was browsing with someone’s phone in the house when he 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. 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 dad was subsequently arrested after the church authorities reported the matter at the police station.
