An 18-year-old girl, yesterday, told a Special and Sexual Offences Court, sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, how her biological father, Folorunsho Oluwaseun, told her he will suck her breasts to make them as big as her mates, and then ended up having sexual intercourse with her for four years.
The victim is the first prosecution witness in an ongoing trial involving her father and Lagos State before Justice Sybil Nwaka. Led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, Babajide Boye, she informed the court that the father started abusing her sexually right from when she was 12 years old, at their Ikorodu home in Lagos.Her story:
“My four siblings (two boys and two girls) and I were staying with my father in a room apartment.
” She said the abuse started when her father called her and said her breast were not as big as that of her mates and that he would help her suck them with his mouth so that they could get bigger like that of her mates.According to her,
“I was in JSS 3 when he started. He asked me to sleep with him on the bed and he began to suck my breasts. The following day, I told my younger sister about the incident and she condemned it. “The following week, he told me that I am not as fat as my mates and that he would pour sperm inside me so that I can be as fat.
I allowed him have sex with me and thereafter, he gave me salt water to drink.” The victim further told the court that her mother left her father’s house in 2012, as they were always having misunderstanding.
She said her father continued to abuse her sexually and when she told her younger sister about the sexual aspect, she said it is a curse and that the bible condemns it.She claimed that
“I said same to my dad, but he said it is not a curse because God knows that he does not have a wife. I attempted to stop him, but he denied me and my siblings food for days until I gave in again.
“He said if he continues to have sex with me, he will keep getting money to take care of us. My mum came but left again after about a month.
“He stopped when she was around and started again when she left. I didn’t tell my mum because he said I should not tell her.“We usually go to the Apostolic Church camp every year and he told me that his sister reported him to his mum and rather than rebuking him, she told him not to get me pregnant.
I told my sister and she said my dad’s family don’t like us at all.
“In 2016, my mother came back to stay with us and caught us one night, when my father was trying to have sex with me. She screamed and my father threatened to kill her.
