A 37-year-old Prophet, Anwana Peter Essien, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for raping his 10-year-old stepdaughter in Akwa Ibom State.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on August 9, 2019 when the JSS One student and her younger sister were brought by their mother to spend time with their stepfather<\/a> in his house at Itiam Street, Uyo.<\/p>\n

The convict, an indigene of Afaha Ise in Ibiono Ibom, confessed during his evidence that a demon \u2018pushed\u2019 him in the midnight to forcefully have intercourse with the minor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the victim of this case. She is my wife\u2019s daughter. In the month of August 2019, she came to my house at Itiam Street, Uyo. I gave her food and she ate then after eating, I told her to remove her clothes but she refused,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI forced her and removed her clothes. I was the one that used my hand and removed my penis and forcefully inserted into her vagina and had carnal knowledge of her. When I was having sex with her, I did not use any condom\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his judgement, Presiding Judge, Justice Okon Okon held that the confession was, \u201cdirect, positive and unequivocal that the randy stepfather had sexual intercourse with his step daughter.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parameters established for the proof of rape<\/a>, have all been satisfied by the evidence of the prosecution witnesses, including the victim and the medical doctor who examined her, fortified by the confessional statement voluntarily made by the accused person himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is most despicable and depressing, that the supposed man of God overpowered and defiled an innocent child of about ten years who is incidentally, his own stepdaughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant lacks any claim of moral rectitude having thrown over board, the limits of his liberties by shamelessly stripping and polluting the dignity, chastity and sanctity of his step daughter\u2019s body and totally disregarding her under age status\u201d.<\/p>\n

Justice Okon found Anwana Essien guilty as charged and accordingly convicted him, adding that the 21 years imprisonment is with effect from when the convict was taken into custody in the Custodial Centre, Uyo.<\/p>\n

The convict however begged the court to release him, as he has a son that has nobody to take care of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
