12-Year-Old Girl in Critical Condition After Dad Rapes & Terminates Pregnancy

admin

A 12-year-old girl in Bayelsa simply identified as Queen is battling for her life after her dad, Bamekpa, who has allegedly been raping her since she was 11, impregnated her and secured an abortion. The poor girl is currently hospitalized in Yenagoa and may need an urgent surgery.

According to the Nation, he had taken her to a quack doctor and forced her to abort the pregnancy at four-months.

Queen told Operation Rescue (OPER), a human rights group, led by Princess Elizabeth Egbe,

“There was nobody to help me. He kept doing it despite my efforts to stop him. It was a painful and violent experience. I ran away from home because there was a time I bled so much from my private part.

When I became pregnant and he heard about it, he handed me over to a lady who took me through an unsuccessful process of abortion. I have been suffering series of health issues after the abortion.”

Egbe added,

“Our investigations showed that the little girl had been perpetually raped by her father who impregnated her and forced her through abortion that has left her with so many health problems.

When the girl was pregnant, she did not know. Her stepmother discovered she was pregnant and informed the father. The father handed her over to a lady who took her to a quack doctor for an abortion.

After the abortion, the girl came back home and discovered she was bleeding from her private part. The father took her to that same lady who then took her to other places. The girl is still in pains and highly traumatised. She has been going through series of medical treatments.

We want the police to really investigate this matter and get to the root of the case. We want the doctor to be arrested, and we want everybody that is involved to be arrested and prosecuted to serve as deterrent to other people who are involved in this act of perpetual evil against the girl-child. The girl-child is tender and has a lot to contribute to nation-building.”

Her uncle, David Apigi, also revealed,

“My niece told me the trauma she has been passing through in her father’s house and how her father has been using her, turning her to his second wife.

She said he had sex with her to the extent that he aborted her four-month-old pregnancy. She ran to me and begged me not to allow her to return to her father’s house because she was tired. I decided to accommodate her. The father started looking for her without knowing she was with me.

My cousin, Rex Ogboku, in Abuja called FIDA to inform them about the situation. But the way FIDA was going about the issue was too sluggish for my liking. I decided to contact the Operation Rescue. We went back to the police and the Otuasiga Police Station arrested the man. The process through which the Otuasiga Police Station was handling the case was not satisfactory.

Imagine a situation where somebody was arrested and while in detention he was still having access to his phone, making calls. He even called me. He called my uncle, trying to plead with him for settlement. I moved the case to Kolo Police Station.”

He added that the suspect is a sexual pervert, claiming he had slept with his biological sisters. He also said he repeatedly had carnal knowledge of his cousin’s daughter and forced her to commit abortion five times, adding that some of his victims are now ready to testify to ensure justice is served.
