15-Year-Old Who’s Been Sexually Abused by Dad Tearfully Narrates Her Story

A 15-year-old girl has exposed her father after narrating in tears how the 42-year-old man, I. D. Idowu, had been sexually abusing her and her elder sister since their mother left them 2 years ago.

According to her, her father gives her N500 each time he wants to sleep with her.

Vanguard gathers that her father was later arrested by policemen at Ketu Division after a curious neighbour interrogated the girl and she opened up, and reported the act to authorities. It was learnt that the suspect’s wife left her matrimonial home two years ago when she discovered that her husband was sleeping with their 17-year-old daughter.

But the randy father was said to have insisted that she left without either of their three children, all girls, who were aged 17, 13 and 8, respectively. The eldest child, unable to bear the abuse, left their Ketu home, abandoning her siblings to their fate.

”My father started sleeping with me two years ago, while I was 13 years. The first time he came, he gave me N500 and forced himself on me. After that day, I did not allow him to touch me again.

The second time he did it, he gave me N500 again. He usually comes to me in the day and night. So far, he has had sex with me three times and usually gave me N500. I rebuffed him several times,” the Senior Secondary School, SS, 1 student narrated.

The victim’s mother, Labake, who showed up at the police station, burst out in tears, saying ”it was because of this same attitude that I left him. I did not remarry.

”My only request is that I want my children to be staying with me. I don’t want him to be prosecuted, please. God knows how to deal with wicked people.”

Meanwhile, when Idowu was interrogated, he debunked the allegations, describing his second child’s claim as false. Rather, he claimed that his daughter fabricated the lie because he scolded her.

But the victim interrupted him, saying ”Daddy, why not tell the truth. You know you are lying. You have slept with me three times.”
