A 16-year-old girl has accused her stepfather of impregnating her.
The victim, whose identity was not disclosed, narrated that this started when she was 12.
She said. “He started having sexual intercourse with me since I was 12. When I was 13 years old, I got pregnant, and he took me to a hospital for an abortion.
He asked me to lie to the doctor that my classmate impregnated me and ran away. The first time he had intercourse with me was on my mother’s bed, and he has been doing it continuously.
I decided not to take the matter to court because my mother had four children for him, although two were dead.
I don’t want a situation where when the children grow up, it will be as if I am the one who sent their father to prison. I decided not to take legal action because of his children, who are my younger siblings.”
The perpetrator of this vile act, who claims to be a clergyman, and a commercial motorcyclist admitted to this when he was questioned.
He said, “It is true I slept with her, although I don’t remember the number of times I did it with her. I’m a pastor, and it was God who told me to sleep with her. God also told me to abort the pregnancy.”
Regardless of his confession, it seems as though justice will not prevail, as it was gathered that the defilement and abortion case against Femi had been withdrawn.
The victim’s mother noted that the family was no longer interested in pursuing the case.
