A man, Femi Orojo, has allegedly raped and impregnated his
13-year-old step-daughter in Okitipupa, in the Okitipupa Local Government Area
of Ondo State.
The suspect allegedly committed the offence in October 2015,
while his wife and mother of the victim, Bunmi, was not at home.
According to the mother, who had been married to the suspect
for the past six years without any child, the suspect took to his heels after
confessing to the crime. Bunmi explained that she discovered that the girl was
five months pregnant last week.
She said, “When I asked her who was responsible for the
pregnancy, she started crying, saying if she told me she would die. I took her
to my pastor and after much pressure, she confessed that it was my husband.
“She told my pastor that when I was not around, my husband
entered into her room with a machete and raped her. After the rape, my child
said he brought out a red handkerchief and warned her not to tell anybody or
else she would die.”
The police spokesman, Mr. Femi Joseph, said the suspect had
yet to be arrested, adding that investigation into the matter was still
ongoing.
