A 15-year-old girl has narrated how her father dis-virgined her when she was just a 10-year-old and had been sleeping wiher in the past five years.
The cat was let out of the bag after the worried girl confided in a Muslim woman.
According to the girl, the sexual violence started when she was just 10-year-old.
This was right after her mother stormed out of the marriage because her father wanted her to abort the new baby they were expecting.
Sounding his own defence, the father said his daughter was lying.
He said he has not been having sexual intercourse with her for five years as she claimed.
The girl said: “He used to force me to have sex any time he desired except whenever I am doing my monthly menstrual period.
“My grandma is unaware of his misdeed and he warned me that if I tell her, I would die the third day.
“The day I stayed outside when I was sent on an errand by my boss, where I was learning hair dressing, I was beaten to pulp by my dad who accused me of sleeping with a boyfriend outside without his knowledge.”
On why her mother was no longer with the family, the teenager disclosed that the cause of the rift and separation was over her father’s directive that the mother should terminate her pregnancy because he did not want her to have a child at that point in time.
She said that her mother regarded his directive as ungodly and criminal and thus moved out of the house.
The father, however, said he started having sex with his daughter in March this year, contrary to the allegation of the girl that he had been sexually violating her for five years.
He said: “It was in March this year after she came to me.
“I appreciated her beauty and had sex with her.
“The girl has been cooperating with me without telling anybody except recently when bad people taught her to rise against me.
“I am not the one who deflowered her.
“She has been doing it secretly elsewhere.”
The girl was rescued by the Federation of Muslim Women Association of Nigeria after she confided in a Muslim woman.
