A 51 – year old Civil Engineer based in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Oluwadare Adesanmi, has been arrested by the operatives of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), for alleged sexual abuse of his 15 – year old househelp. The sexual abuse has resulted in a pregnancy.
The victim (Name withheld), a
Junior Secondary School Student (JSS) of one of government schools in
the Dutse area of the Federal Capital Territory, was hired by the family
as househelp about two years ago and has been living with them in their
One- Bedroom apartment before the incident.
In her painful
narration, the victim disclosed that the Ondo state born man forced her
to have sexual intercourse with him on two occasions in the sitting room
where she sleeps. On the two occasions, he threatened to deal with her
if she talks to anyone about it.
According to her, the first
time was when his wife travelled and the man sneaked into the parlor
where she was sleeping, touched her and forced his way into her after
covering her mouth so that she will not shout out. That was the day he
deflowered her and it was the man who cleaned up the blood stains and
took away the bed spread she used to cover herself.
The matter
now came to the open when one of the teachers in her school noticed some
of the changes in the girl, she was now taken to the hospital where a
pregnancy test was done and it came out positive. Upon interrogation,
the man confessed but maintained that he only slept with her once.
