A 48 year old man, Adeboye Waheed, has been arrested by the Lagos
state police command for raping his 14 year-old daughter, to check her
virginity status at Adama Araro Street in Ikorodu area of the state.
The victim, an SS1 student of Araromi Isoju Grammar School in
Ikorodu, who lived with her father, step mother and four siblings,
revealed that she was defiled twice with a condom.
Narrating her ordeal to journalists, she said,
"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.
"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."
According to the Trent, while being paraded before journalists the suspect blamed the act on strange influence which befell him.
