The Lagos state police command have arrested 36 years old Imeh
Akpan, for allegedly raping his wife's 15 years old sister, for 10
years. Parading Imeh before newsmen at the state police
command in Ikeja today April 13th, the state police commissioner,
Fatai Owoseni, said
"The teenager has been living with him since she was
small. He started raping her when she was five-year-old.
She lives with him and his wife, who’s her step-sister and
he has been defiling her since then. But he was eventually
caught at the weekend after the girl ran out of the house
and was rescued by some policemen".
When interrogated, the victim whose name was not disclosed,
said her sister's husband who she refers to as Daddy, raped her
last Sunday
"My daddy (suspect) raped me because my mummy
travelled to Akwa Ibom last Wednesday. I was sleeping on
Sunday, around 10pm, my daddy came and removed my
clothes and slept with me. He used the towel to cover my
eye and my mouth but I was still shouting and crying. He
said nobody will come and help me. So, I ran out of the
house when i got chance. After I ran out, I begged my
neighbour to give me phone to talk to my mummy (half
sister) and he said there is no credit in his phone. So, I ran
towards the police station at the roundabout. On my way
there, I saw one man who asked me where I was going. I
told him everything and the man said he will take me to
police station and to human right. So, he now took me to
hotel that I should come and sleep in hotel till morning
before he will take me to the station. I followed the man
and I now said I cannot sleep with him inside the hotel.
When I wanted to close my eyes, I was now seeing the
man as if his hand was touching me in my dream. I could
not close my eyes. Around 3am, I told the man I want to
go and ease myself and he allowed me. The man now said
since I want to go and report everything at police station
that he will use his own money and that the money will be
N50, 000, that I should do him a favour and enter the
room. I did but the man wanted to rape me also and I
shouted before the owner of the hotel came and opened
the door. That was how I ran outside. As I was walking on
the road, policemen saw me and I told them everything and
they called one Okada man to take me to Lion Building. He
has slept with me two times. The first time was last year. I
told my mummy everything when she came back from
church because my daddy told her that I ran out of the
house. When I told her, she believed me but when my uncle
now denied, he claimed that I left the door open and
someone entered the house" she said
The suspect claimed he was drunk and did not know when he
committed the crime
"She is like my daughter and it is an abomination for me to
sleep with her. I have been the one training her since she
was a baby. I was drunk and I did not know anything. It
was the police that invited me and told me I raped her. I did
not even know. It is only this once I have done it. I do not
know what came over me,” he said.
The police say he will soon be charged to court.
