This is indeed a world without shame, not only to the females but the male are also guilty of these shameless acts going on in the world of today, a young man of 34 years of age was unable to control his sexual lust as he went on to impregnate his wife's daughter, a little girl of 13.
Policemen
attached to the Area G Police Command, Lagos State, have arrested a
36-year-old man, Mr Saka Akonda, for impregnating his wife’s 13-year-old
daughter.
The girl was discovered to have been put in the
family way by her stepfather, just as his wife, who is the teenager’s
mother, is also six months pregnant. Incidentally, the girl is five
months pregnant.
Akonda, a furniture maker, residing at
Obawole, Iju, Lagos State, was arrested following a complaint filed by
the girl’s paternal uncle.
Yesterday, Akonda, who was
dragged to Ogba Magistrates’ Court to face the music, said that he was
so much in love with his stepdaughter.
The accused said he
was shocked that police could arrest him, even after he had settled the
matter amicably with the girl’s biological father.
Akonda, a
father of two, admitted to have accepted responsibility for the
underage girl’s pregnancy, stressing that he was willing and ready to
take good care of her. He insisted that he had been doing a lot caring
for the girl since she came to stay with him and his wife five years
ago.
He said: “Everything would have been okay, but it’s the
girl’s father’s brother that is causing problem. He was the person that
encouraged the girl’s father to arrest me. Even when my wife said we
should abort the girl’s pregnancy, I kicked against it. I was afraid for
her life. I don’t want her to die. I have been sponsoring the girl’s
education since my wife came with her to my house. Her father
appreciated my effort on the girl.”
Akonda said the police
officer that arrested him requested for N50,000 to settle the case with
the girl’s father, but that he could only cough up N10,000.
He said: “I’m
begging the girl’s father to remember that I had been caring for the
girl for long. Most times, her father doesn’t care for her.”
Akonda said that his wife left him after he was picked by the police.
The
girl’s uncle, Oladele Rasheed, 52, a driver, said that the girl’s
mother left his brother’s house five years ago to marry Akonda.
He said: “The
man, who impregnated the little girl, married my brother’s wife. The
woman abandoned her husband to go and live with this ‘useless’ man, who
has impregnated mother and daughter. I want the law to take its due
course and punish him for his wickedness. Even if my elder brother
backtracks on this matter, I shall not. I would see this case to the
end.”
