Chukwuemeka Odunzie, started
defiling his daughter, who is in
primary 3, early last year at their
house at Ojokoro Housing Estate,
Meiran, Ijaiye, Lagos. The girl said:
“My daddy usually gives me money
after touching my private part or
putting his penis in my mouth.” On
her part, the girl’s mother, Mrs
Odunzie, said: “Last year, my son
told me that his younger sister was
fond of playing with her private
parts.
I then talked to her, scolded her and
sometimes beat her. There was a
time I told my husband. All he said
was that I should take her to any of
these white garment churches. I was
alarmed when one day, while we
were in the sitting room, she started
touching and playing with herself?
Immediately, I called her inside the
room and asked her if anyone was
fiddling with her private parts.
She said it was her father that always
touched her private parts and that
after touching her private parts, he
would give her money. I confronted
my husband but he denied. I
reported a case of defilement to
Ebenezer Divisional Police and he
was arrested. The police gave me a
report to take my daughter to the
hospital.
The doctor said there had been no
penetration but that there is an
opening in her virgina and advised
that the victim be tested for
infection. By the time we came back
from the hospital, the IPO said it was
a family issue and that we should go
home and settle the case. Members
of his family were shouting, saying
that I had no right to report the case
to the police, that it was a family
issue that should be treated as one.
They pressurized me till I withdrew
the case, after which he promised
not to defile our daughter again.”
Chukwu admitted that it was only
once that he abused the girl and that
he was not doing it for occult
reasons…… so there is no cause for
alarm…..
