The police in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, have arrested and
arraigned a 47-year old man, Akah Nkereuwem Udoh, for allegedly
impregnating his sister’s 13-year-old daughter who was living with him.
After
impregnating the little girl, he offered to marry the victim at the
Igando police station as a condition to settle the matter, even though
the victim is the daughter of his blood sister.
The incident
occurred at 31, Rauf Adebiyi Street, Igando, on the outskirts of lagos.
The
Akwa Ibom state-born Udoh is now facing charges of sexually abusing the
girl at the Ejigbo magistrate’s court, Lagos.
He
was said to have gone to his village and promised his sister, Mrs.
Blessing Bassey, that he would take one of her daughters to Lagos and
send her to school, a request her sister gladly accepted.
Udoh
then brought the victim to Lagos under false pretence of sending her to
school and they started living together with his wife and two children
at Igando, Lagos.
P.M.NEWS gathered that not quite long after he
brought her to Lagos, he seduced her and started having sex with her
without his wife’s knowledge.
He warned the girl not to tell
anybody about it.
He reportedly returns home to have sex with the
girl when his wife leaves for work.
This continued until he
impregnated the girl and kept her somewhere to conceal the pregnancy.
Trouble
began for Udoh when members of the victim’s family were contacted and
they demanded to see the victim.
He initiatially refused to
disclose where he kept the girl until state welfare officials intervened
and contacted the police.
The
police arrested Udoh and took him to the station where he confessed to
what happened and promised to marry the pregnant girl.
The
promise, however, did not deter the police from charging him to
court.......
