Rivers: Teenager accuses father of rape, seeks trial

A teenager in Rivers state simply identified as Otuoye wants his father arraigned for allegedly raping her repeatedly because of his barren wife (her stepmother).

The 18-year-old girl is alleging that he wanted to impregnate her for her stepmother who had yet to give birth after 12 years of marriage.

The victim said her father beat and threatened her with a machete sometimes before forcefully having sexual intercourse with her.

Otuoye alleged that her father was arrested when she reported the matter to the police, but the investigating police officer released him.

She called on the state Commissioner of Police, Okon Effiong, to prevail on the State Criminal and Investigation Department to charge her father with sexual assault.

“My father raped me four good times since he brought me back from Aba (Abia State).

“He has been sleeping with me in the house. Then he wanted me to do IVF for him and his wife who has not given birth to any child for 12 good years.

“When I refused his advances, he started sleeping with me forcefully with a machete. Sometimes, he uses a pen knife and a machete to beat me.

“He beats me every day before sleeping with me. When his wife tells him to stop, he will tell her that he is trying to correct me; that I am a stubborn girl.

“He calls me a prostitute that I want to become wayward. I need help. I want the Commissioner of Police to help. I need justice,” she added.
